Hi everyone, I have a question regarding password synchronization: Has anyone already written code to use the "Password filter" hook on NT to capture and synchronize passwords from NT to a UNIX-Server? It should not be too difficult, but I want to avoid re-inventing the wheel. TIA, Dietmar Berg

It's not currently exportable from the US though due to the insanity of the US government :-(. Hope this helps, Jeremy Allison.

Any chance that the code is public domain or could be made to be PD ?? Thanks. -- Alain Williams
