AFAIK, for AD you need to do 'net ads join' after getting a kerberos ticket, but not having tried this I am not sure ... > > "europe.delphiauto.net" is the tree of the AD that this server needs to > be a member of - I suppose.

Get binaries for 9.0 here: http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/mandrake9.0/samba-3.0alpha21/ (sorry, no hdlists atm) The should be compiled with all the right bits for AD, you should probably only need -common, -server and -winbind, but why not test them all for me?
