Barry; We have SAMBA authenticating Windows clients directly into AD, using winbind. Linux then participates in the AD just as if it were any other arbitrary Windows server. There is no LDAP replication involved. There are some ugly hairs (especially if you have a very large AD) but overall it works quite well. Have you considered doing this, and avoiding the need to sync passwords entirely? ok r. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
