one more thing to mention in regards to LDAP. With PAM/NSS LDAP you can configure your directory server to require authentication for queries, so a user would have to know a username to query in order to get information. They would not be able to connect to the database directly and retrieve a list of all users(e.g. with NIS you can do ypcat passwd) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
