Grabbing roles from active directory via webserver_auth module

Hi again everyone. I'm running the webserver_auth module and I would like to retrieve user roles from active directory, but I see no way to configure or for that matter do anything with it. I can log in as an authuser, but Ideally I would like roles to be automatic as our business has hundreds of users which I don't look forward to role editing.

Here are the symptoms, what's the cure ?

First sorry for my english...

Just new to Drupal, played a lot with taxonomy, modules...

Here are the noob questions :

- I have News category(vocabulary) with subcats(terms), Subnews1, Subnews2 and so on... What do I need to do if I want the Stories in Subnews1 to be published also in News parent category? Must I assign those stories to category News1 and Subnews1 ??

- What if I want a particular block on top (Above content) of Subnews1 page, another on top of Subnews2, News and other page ?? What trick, snippet or module(s) should I use ???

Kerberos and the webserver_auth module - Trying to log out and can't

Heya everyone. I'm running an apache installation and am trying to connect to active directory to grab users for login. The webserver_auth module does this beautifully but I have run into a bit of a hangup. I can't log out. When I try to logout using the logout button, nothing happens, it just goes back to the main page. Now I assume this is because the name is cached or that Kerberos login hates me. If anyone has any ideas I could really use em. I need to be able to logout, then easily log back in.

Questions: Poll and Calendar Related

I've just finished installing Drupal and I'm trying to weed my way through all of it. As a result, I have a couple questions:

1. How can the poll be visually improved upon? It looks very plain and boring. Different colored bars per option?

2. Is there a Calendar module where users/admins can add events? I searched through the Modules section of the Drupal site, but really didn't find anything.

Users Seeing Menus

I'm trying to make it so I can set up users to post their own content on my website. When I log into the website as one of the users I've set up, I can't see the create content option on my menu. How can I make that visible to all users?

Thanks!

Contextual Secondary Links always showing?

My site has a structure like this:

  • Primary Link 1
    • secondary link 1-1
    • secondary link 1-2
    • ...
  • Primary Link 2
    • secondary link 2-1
    • secondary link 2-2
    • ...
  • ...

Primary and secondary links are set to use the same menu, so that the secondary menus change depending on what primary link is clicked. Everything fine so far.

But, what if the user visits a page which is outside the menu hierarchy? For example, if he clicks on a term right below a node title, or a tracker page, or a search result page? The secondary links disappear. I understand the logics of this behavior for most sites, as these pages are not part of any primary section.

But my site has very well delimited sections, almost separate sites, which are defined in the Primary Links (not completely separate sites, because they share same user base and part of same resources). The Secondary Links act as if they were 'primary links' of each section. So I'd like to have them always showing.

Is there a way to get that?

If there was a snippet that could 'know' what was the latest secondary links shown and repeat them every time a page outside the menu hierarchy is requested, that would be great.

But if this is too difficult, I would be glad if there was a way to select secondary links to display based on taxonomy. That wouldn't solve the lack of Secondary Links on all pages, but at least most of the lists of nodes baesd on taxonomy would heva them.
