As far as I know, don't take my word for it, in order to use Active |
| 27 |
Directory on a GNU/Linux host, you need to setup LDAP and have it talk |
| 28 |
to AD. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this, perhaps this will |

As far as non-English filenames appearing with question marks, you |
| 32 |
need to setup localization correctly. This |
| 33 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml or this |
| 34 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Localization might help you get that setup. |
| 35 |
Once again, I've never done this, so maybe someone who has can be of |
| 36 |
more help to you. |
