Low hanging fruit is to ignore the AD integration for now, make this a good NAS for home users without the AD integration issues resolved. Example of a common use case: iTunes media library. 2+ TB of music, movies, books, podcasts, etc. becomes more than a bit unwieldy to handle natively on a Mac, but Illumos is well suited to handle this workload. No AD integration is necessary for this use case. Local system auth is "good enough". _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
