Sorry, didn't see OP so maybe this is irrelevant. I used SFU about 4-5 years ago for password synchronization between an NT domain and some HP-UX servers. It worked quite nicely. I've never used it for any of the API, etc. type features.
At any rate, IIRC SFU won some sort of 'best product' award at a linuxworld or similar conference a year or two ago. --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > RIS / AIRS used it a couple of years back before > they got rid of thier > nix/bisync/mess to provide a slew of functionality > as the locals > migrated to Windows. most of it was a holder for > batch files during > some conversion to keep things patched together or > to keep things > running - some of the batch files called bianaries > and I remember it > being cool cause you could make calls to both Unix > style stuff and, say > DCOM in the same batch file.
