Is this possible? I've searched all over the web but could not find any concrete answers or HOWTO's . Also useful would be to authenticate against LDAP or a MySQL database.... anyone know where I can get some good detailed info on how to do this? Thanks in advance....... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Your own fax service 24x7, no extra line or fax machine required http://www.mbox.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
