Neither do I!  We're not looking at AD yet. A colleague of mine 
tried to set it up for JRS by roughly copying someone else's 
configuration. It failed. So I reinstalled FreeRadius and samba 
from scratch and started again; re-introducing changes one at at 
time.

I acan make ntlm_auth work from command line but not from 
FreeRadius yet - so I dropped it and am trying to ensure I can 
run a minimal test.

Er, I don't think so!  Well, I hope not!
