Thanks guys, That's what I guess I didn't know. I was going to use AD integration but these PC's are dom members but they logon locally as they run some lame software won't run as a service and needs local admin to work, so I didn't want a domain username sitting accessible. jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
