Considering how Microsoft is promoting AD as Open Standards-compliant, it's hard to see how FreeBSD would "interfere" with AD. The only thing I can think of would be the authentication... Microsoft's Kerberos implentation isn't quite standard, I gather. Has he given you any particulars as to how FreeBSD would molest AD? Otherwise, AD uses DNS, LDAP (w/ and w/o SSL), x.509, etc. Try selling it as "implementing AD in a heterogenous client environment is good for your career" perhaps? ;-) -- Regards, Juha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
