Isn't cistron's limitation (in contrast with Merit) that is requires usernames and passwords to be in the system user password files? Anyway, if you're happy with that, the question you need to ask your Novell support buffs is whether there's any way to export your userlist in plain text, with passwords in either pain text, crypted MD5 or crypted DES. Once you know what the exported information from the Novelle server will look like, we can better help you figure out where to go next. Make sure that replies are copied to the list. I have a funeral to attend later today, and will be quite busy this week. :-( Ciao, Sheldon.
