true enough.
I think more and more users will be apt to like the unix pw and smb pw on
one LDAP server.
has anyone on the list done this yet?

I'm thinking of making these perl tools nice little 3 tier apps that can

their own info (w/i reason of course) and have the internal configuration
select whether it needs to reference the flat file or an LDAP database.
