*Login as a valid SME server user on your system, just giving username and password. No need for DOMAIN\user as samba configured above to use the default Windows Workgroup

 

*Authentication against SME should proceed and the user log in. A home directory on the local machine should be created as /home/DOMAIN/user, and a sub directory to that called 'nethome' mounted to the users home directory on the SME server. The mount point should also appear on the users gui desktop.

The autorun.sh script on the VirtualBox Guest Additions media does not run on Fedora as it requires gksu which doesn't appear to be available as a standard RedHat package.
