It really boils down to configuring Samba (and possibly Kerberos) correctly, joining the domain, and setting your nsswitch.conf and PAM configuration files to use winbind. I think the problems the eWeek folks ran into were caused by authconfig attempting to make the Samba and Kerberos configuration mirror each other in a way which turned out to just be confusing to people who weren't expecting it, so that's going away. Not sure those changes hit Test 1, though. There's more configuration required if you want to have Kerberos credentials available *after* you log in, and that hasn't been done yet. I'll spare you the details. Nalin -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
