We don't yet have an Active Directory PDC (it is much more than samba+openLDAP+kerberos - we need them all working with each other :-). That said, we are often confused for an active directory PDC by the clients - they often 'fall back' in parts of the protocol. It may well be possible to create such policies - In the end, they are just a file in a particular file share. It would be an interesting challenge for somebody to work on. :-) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net
