I'm thinking he means as in Active Directory. A Domain. I first did a fast search of the ports - See below: racerx# make search key=3D"active dir" | more Port: adtool-1.2 Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/adtool Info: Active Directory administration tool Maint: joseph@randomnetworks.com Index: sysutils B-deps: expat-1.95.6_1 gettext-0.12.1 gmake-3.80_1 libiconv-1.9.1_3=20 openldap-cli ent-2.1.26 R-deps: openldap-client-2.1.26 I'm willing to bet there may be something there for you. Always use make=20 search key (as root - from /usr/ports) to seek something. =2D --=20 Best regards, Chris =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQA/AwUBQBxy5Q+T/4DAG8NjEQL9ggCfRaSpy51XXmVhTMGkaGlT1fTXjoYAoJbu a8foir7Vbn5xNTlRyCS30FL7 =3DFQS3 =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
