I can't recall if it's an AD (I *think* it is, as the esmith server runs LDAP, iirc). The trick to let the client see the linux/samba server as an AD server was to disable some kind of encryption / cert related option in the client's registry. I'll see if i get hold of the colleague that worked on this and ask him the details. hope this is of some help. Beto
