Hi,
Well, you can just create account for the Win clients from the FreeBSD
end, (just use good old adduser or pw) and then use (if you have MS clients)
Clients for MS Network under network property... Then create the home
directory for the client, and edit the smb.conf so that the home directory
can be seen from the win machines. When the users logon, all they have to
do is just type in their username and password when MS Clients asks for
them... :)
further doc can be found in www.samba.org and /user/local/share/doc/samba
I hope this helps... :)
