A good guess. I re-read the Philip C. Cox/Paul B. Hill paper covering
NETLOGON just to be sure I had my head on straight.
I am still curious about the differences between W9x/Me/XP-Home vs.
NT/2kx/XP-Pro. I need to set up a domain some time so I can see how a
W9x-type system does authentication when it's a "member" of the domain.
Thanks!
