I would strongly suggest LDAP for this goal. The nss_ldap module is mature, and many system services can authenticate against it. Samba uses pdb_ldap to access it's attributes. If you must use MySQL, there is an experimental passdb backend for MySQL, but you must also use nss_mysql etc. Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net
