Hey, all. I'm planning on migrating a W2K3 server to a Linux solution. It needs to be AD-aware, support ACLs, etc. This isn't something I'm doing Right Now(tm), so I can wait a little bit. A couple questions: 1) Are there any known issues with BTRFS? 2) Which version of Samba would be most appropriate for this? 3) AD integration: I've never really done it (with success); any pointers? [I've googled a bit, but bump into a zillion different HOWTO's and/or utilities, some of which seem to be mutually exclusive.) Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Both integrated into the domain fairly easily. I have some internal docs that I can post once I clean them up. I haven't done any ACL testing yet because groups have been sufficient. -- Matt Richardson IT Consultant College of Arts and Letters CSU San Bernardino work: (909)537-7598 fax: (909)537-5926
