NIS.. anything else? Eric, You may also consider using a PAM module for LDAP based authentication. I believe all of the platforms above support PAM, with the exception of Tru64, of which I am not sure. In the case that PAM does not support Tru64, nss_ldap may also cover what is needed. -- Benjamin Krueger "From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter.
