And just to tie the two emails together, directly under the link that Dave gave is the section entitled "Linux/Unix and Authentication" which discusses pam_smb. (http://library.smc.edu/rpa.htm#linux) Samba has always been the frontrunner in UNIX to NT communication, I would see what their latest ideas are for it. And when you figure it all out let us know, since most of us probably work in mixed UNIX/NT environments. I actually wanted to do the exact same thing, but have been pressed with more demanding issues.Dave Roth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I am not aware of any authentication modules that would do what you > are looking for.

I have no idea what is in use today.Recent versions of Red Hat bundle pam_smb: <http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/> So in theory, you can use your NT domain to authenticate anything from login to sshd to ftpd to xscreensaver. Take a peek in /etc/pam.d on any Linux box. I have never used pam_smb myself, nor have I invoked PAM from Perl or Apache, so I do not know exactly how to do what kavita wants. But I bet it is not too hard... I would start with a Google search for PAM and Apache, and then by asking in a more Linux-specific forum. > Good luck, Ditto. - Pat
