Basically, you can use it for authentication and password change, but for little else, and even those uses require going through incredible hoops (e.g. abusing the authentication module API to implement a credential cache). Did you need more? Are you really just fishing for Paul Fronberg's email address? Maybe this release note from HP will explain the limitations satisfactorily: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/J5849-90001/J5849-90001.html NB: This is just for authentication, mostly preauthentication. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
