You can do it a number of ways. You can have completely separate Windows and Unix accounts. That works kinda like a Windows "workgroup" network without a domain controller. You can have separate Unix accounts, but employ various mechanisms to keep them sync'ed. Or, you can pull account information from an NT domain controller (using "winbind"), without local Unix user accounts at all. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
