Someone asked me today about authenticating their Linux box against an NT domain. I looked into it, and found "winbind" which is part of the Samba project. Here's a link to a PDF about it: http://www.instinct.org/samba/ftp/appliance/winbind.pdf As much as I hate to closely integrate a Linux box and an NT domain, it definitely has its uses, ESPECIALLY for ftp servers. Windows IIS ftp server sucks bigtime, and I use Linux ftp servers. I have ALOT of users, and user administration has become a headache. If I could just let these people use their NT domain logins, my life would be much simpler. Has anyone played around with this? Does it exist in a usable form yet? Jay
