I'm sorry for not pointing out the intention of my mail more crefully. The e-mail wich may is helpfull for programmers who might wish to program daemons/tools to interact with Windows (Authentication or such things) was send out to provide everybody who's interested into such things a little overview. :) Nothing more or less! So if you think it would be handy if you could remotely shutdown your whole network from the Firewall you may could code the daemon right now 'course the protocol itself is not "patented". Or maybe somebody codes a login_ntlm or anything else. Who knows :) There things wich are not "just" usefull for samba and where some programers (not just for OpenBSD maybe) are maybe interested into. :) Kind regards, Sebastian
