Yes, I never tested the Frontport library on OpenVMS 5.5-2.  I had a job 
change, and a move, and it has taken me until this year to get things 
set back up.

The changes to make Frontport work on the earlier versions are not hard, 
and I intend to take them into account when I put out the next release 
of it.  I am currently debugging the privileged UID routines.

If you care to recompile the source, I would be happy to assist on this 
list with the needed patches and transfer vector entries.

You might try the 2.0.3 release, it still requires plain text passwords.

You may be able to apply the 2.0.7 source patches to it and get around 
the protocol problems.

I never released a 2.0.7 kit.  I did publish a list of the steps needed 
to do the upgrades to 2.0.10 of SAMBA, but at the time I did not have 
enough of a computing environment up at home to test it.

Once I get Frontport passing my tests, I will probably build a 2.0.10 
kit just for completeness.

I have had multiple hard disk failures as a result of my relocation, 
plus I am spending almost an hour a day commuting, so I do not have as 
much time as I use to.

On the other hand, I now have very good access to OpenVMS internals and 
futures :-)
