NIS and NT PDCs?

[Andrew Perrin - Demography]

Seth -

I wrote an (admittedly rather kludgy) system to do exactly that, and it's
been in use and functional for about 3 years now.  In addition, it
enforces a second, 'insecure' password for use in checking e-mail from off
campus.  It's online at http://demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin/tips/mchp.html


Hope this helps.
