Hello, There are quite a few guides to setting up Samba out there. For the most part you can check out the guides even if they are for Samba on Linux, since the procedure outside of actually installing Samba through the package manager will be the same. Here is one for setting up Samba as a PDC on Ubuntu http://howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10 And if you want to know how to setup Samba with an LDAP backend follow this guide. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=166108 As far as getting the packages, all of the above are available in ports. If you wish to use the same LDAP database for your local user authentication, then you can follow this guide: http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/FreeBSD/docs/ Quick_and_dirty_FreeBSD_5_x_and_nss_ldap_mini-HOWTO.html I am running a PDC at home on FreeBSD 6.1 and Samba/LDAP which works pretty well.
