Hi I think this should be possible. If the linux-server doesn't have to be a PDC, you can simply use samba with the parameter security = server password server = <real PDC> in your smb.conf If the linux-server has to be a PDC; you have to use the samba-NTDOM version. You can obtain it only via public CVS from samba.anu.edu.au. mfg, fgp ------------------------------------- F.G.P. <fgp@fgp.atnet.at> "When ever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect" - Mark Twain
