But hang on. That wouldn't work either. Would we need to completely 
ditch s3fs for rfc2307 to work? What's wrong with nss-ldapd instead, or 
in the meanwhile until winbind and s3fs catches up?

How would I setup the a recommended, official Samba fileserver? Is it a 
Samba 3.6 machine on VBox?

Normally, I create a user on the DC, give him rfc2307 classes and 
attributes and create his home directory.

When the user is created, I also create the whole of his login to both 
Linux and windows machines. I can do that with the DC and fileserver as 
the same machine by bypassing winbind and using nss-pam-ldapd. All the 
user has to do is choose whether to use a Linux or windows box.

Confused. . .
Cheers, Steve
