It also would cause problems if I change a password in w2k though I do not run win2000 servers(i banned them in my company), I have read that you could do this if you use samba's winbind (provided it is supported on freebsd, i think it is), and provided your win2000 server has NT compadiblity mode enabled. samba will not function in an active-directory-only enviornment last i read. another thing you could do is setup samba as a PDC and have them join the samba domain, I am working with this on samba-tng and openldap now. nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
