Thanks for you reply. I will try to use winbindd. Also, I would like to provide a web-interface using for changing the smb password. Hence if i could combine the user changing their own password,it will reduce the administration efforts. Is there a way to incorporate winbindd in a client program and authenticate with NT based PDC. Thanks in advance, Balagurumoorthy.S __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New DSL Internet Access from SBC & Yahoo! http://sbc.yahoo.com
