Here are some basic instructions I used to get FreeBSD, SAMBA running. The plan is to have a more complete guide to hooking up to IIS in the future. I downloaded FreeBSD 8.2 and Centos 5.6 to see what it would take to hookup a virtual directory in IIS 7.5 to a *nix Samba share. I have prior experience getting FreeBSD for various server roles. It was the first Unix based OS I have experience with. Getting Samba was super easy with the link below. I have no experience in a production environment running a virtual directory from IIS to a *nix share. This was strictly to “see if I could do it”.
- Download FreeBSD 8.2 ISO from www.freebsd.org
- Create a new VM in Hyper-V or VMware (I used Hyper-V) – I had to add the legacy network connection once the VM was created. Mount the ISO and let the install go as normal. Here is the docs http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install.html
- Once FreeBSD is done installing
Ssh to FreeBSD using Putty
winuser
Su root
Bash
Cd /user/ports/net
Cd samba
Type make && make install (add / remove programs for FreeBSD)
Prompted, here are the items I selected
- Ldap
- Ada
- Cups
- Winbind
- With acl support
- Aio aupport
- With syslog support
- With utmp accounting support
- DNSupdate
- With system wide POPT library
- With IPv6 support
Defaults for Python 2.6.6 were taken

This port has installed the following startup scripts which may cause these network services to be started at boot time. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about the security of ports included in the Ports Collection. Please type ‘make deinstall’ to deinstall the port if this is a concern.
