Linux as an NT CLIENT

[Mayers, P J]

Yes, still need a passwd/NIS entry. IIRC there was something under
development called winbind, which is the equivalent for ypbind for an NT
domain, rather than NIS. Very nice. But it was dependent on SURS, and hence
probably TNG. Again, I don't know the progress.

Luke?

Cheers,
Phil

Do you need to have a passwd file entry for each user when they
authenticate of
a NT-PDC?

Anyone got this to work w/ HPUX 10.20 or 11? (they seem to have an older
PAM version than is standard)
