Any > pointers greatly appreciated. This is what we all want. You're on the right track but so far as I'm aware all of the above but NT will do it. Win2000 will do it, too. To do kerberos authentication in NT you need something like Gina from Notre Dame. I'm not sure what state that's in these days. The dept I just moved to is in the process of removing Gina from our NT boxen and going to multiple password databases. I'd love to find a way to avoid that. Samba might be a possibility but I'm told it doesn't avoid the clear-text password problem. I still need to verify that before eliminating it from consideration. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
