yea.. I'm looking to serve files to a set of AD-authenticated windows users,
and based on my understanding of the various  constraints involved (between
yldap, nfs, samba/winbind, etc and openbsd), it looks like a samba/AD-auth'd
serve is better setup on FreeBSD - unless there is another suggestion?
