Hi,

Most folks pointed me towards Samba, with a couple of mentions of
Compaq's Advanced Server and one mention of NIS on NT. I guess I
didn't state the question very clearly. I was looking for a way to
use WNT domain logins to log into TRU64 shell sessions, not just for
file sharing. As far as I can determine Samba only supports what I
want to do on Solaris and Linux with the PAM_SMB module. I was hoping
there was something similar for TRU64, perhaps something like SIA_SMB.
