I would like it to be possible for the intranet users to authenticate themselves against the standard FreeBSD passwd file. Two questions: a) is this a major security breach (I cannot imagine so, other than being able to repeatedly try to authenticate, something which could be controlled by using sessions, but then, i may be completely wrong) b) is this doable and how? Thanks a lot, Raoul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
