Not entirely true, or at least it wasn't last time I tried this. For me, I used a method that included a PAM module that, on successful auth (actually, for HP-UX, any auth, which was unfortunate, since they have no 'requisite' directive in PAM), populated the smbpasswd file. I don't know what FDS is, but it seems to me you could go this route and then convert the smbpasswd file to whatever you wanted via pdbedit. =R - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHhStZmb+gadEcsb4RAoxpAJ4ueyjIEKhv+mBdSN+qjVuN4niWfQCgi1NS 4K1ZQsfiaFFzoXdqAcFV0xg= =l57P -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
