Not sure if this entirely relates to your setup, but I will be trying this out /* If MyAuthPasswd is a ``*'', the password is looked up in the passwd(5) database. */ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Theil Nielsen" To: Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 2:29 AM Subject: Samba PDC with VPN access > We have a Samba PDC on FreeBSD 7.0-release.
