I'm stumped =P > The winbindd daemon works well under FreeBSD, as does pam_winbind and squid's winbind authentication. I'm making extensive use of it for both these functions. What doesn't work is libnss_winbind for auto-magic unix user/group accounts. The security/nss (Network Security Services) port is not the same as the Name Service Switch functionality that libnss_winbind needs. FBSD's nss support is virtually non-existent. Jacques Vidrine has started work on nss (http://www.nectar.cc/zope/freebsd/nsswitch) support, but had to set it aside. Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
