As Glen says, the problem is in using a Samba share to store either the repository or the sandbox. There is no problem in having Samba and CVSNT installed on the same machine - check the CVSNT Wiki for detailed instructions for setting up Active Directory authentication. (Strictly speaking, you don't need the Samba server (smbd) for AD authentication - you only need winbindd, which is part of the Samba package). -Torsten
