UNIX PASSWD SYNC/changing password on NT workstation

[Lisa Becktold {CADIG STAFF}]

Matt:

Thanks for clarification!

Will "passwd chat debug" work with encrypted passwords?  I thought it
only worked with plaintext passwords - I might have picked this up
from old documentation, though.

I'm going to give it a try....

Thanks again.

Lisa
