The winbindd daemon actually works fine under fbsd. If you want the auto-magical user management features of winbind, NSS support is required. libnss_winbind will not currently work under fbsd. If all you need is a pam auth source, then pam_winbind works fine if you've updated the port in the past few days. Winbind also works OK for use with Squid 2.5 's upcoming winbind authentication helpers. Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
