Hey All,

Windows XP (Client=3D a board running Linux).

1. Is it Free?
2. Is it easy to install/use=20
3. are there any good tutorials on installation/usage?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. It is free.
Download Microsoft's SFU service
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/sfu35int.mspx

2. somewhat - it's easier if you just use local passwd/group files.

I personally copied /etc/passwd /etc/group files from my linux
environment to my local windows box to make the UID mapping between our
unix environment and our windows environment. If you want something more
domain wide, either use the other mapping services as explained in SFU
OR expose your passwd/group file on say the netlogin domain shared
folder.

3. dunno aside from what's in the SFU software and on Microsoft's site.
Another useful config page.
