X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: SCO Openserver & FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I've got a situation where I need to integrate several FreeBSD boxes into an already existing SCO environment. I'm polling the group for opinions/ideas/comments/etc... We have (1) SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 box which we need to keep. Currently it provides all network services to our office (Database, File & Print, Mail, DNS, etc...) I'd like to bring in a few FreeBSD servers to take over File & Print services, Mail, etc... Now, my questions. 1. Is there an easy way to migrate the password file from the SCO box to the FreeBSD servers? 2. And I think that this is going to be the killer, is there an easy way (short of NIS) to keep passwords between the SCO box and the FreeBSD boxen in sync? 3. A bit off topic. Has anyone used SAMBA to act as a WinNT PDC? Anyone used SAMBA's ability to sync Windows and UNIX passwords? Just curious. Anyhow, thanks for the input, as always, it's appreciated.
