I remember seeing something recently about NISGINA.DLL. It
replaces the MSGINA.DLL of NT and allows NT to obtain
NIS+ passwords. This might be a way to consolidate passwords.
I am considering implementing a pilot using NIS+ to serve passwords
to NTW machines. Does anyone on the list have comments on this topic?
