I am currently integrating Freebsd in a predominately NT network. I am interested in using NT as a domain controller then using samba on the other servers. I know that samba supports this and you can set security = server, but what I am also interested in is using the password list for the passwd file as well. So in theory I would like to download the NT user and pass list much like NT's bdc (backup domain controller) does. This may not be the correct mailing list to seek help on this subject but I thought it would be a start. Any information would be helpful Thanks, Chad Thunberg "For the first time in my life I was reading things which had not been approved by the Prophet's censors, and the impact on my mind was devastating. Sometimes I would glance over my shoulder to see who was watching me, frightened in spite of myself. I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny." -Revolt in 2100

Any information would be helpfulHi AFAIK samba does not support this.. but: some days (or weeks?) ago someone posted something about a linux/(unix?) programm that can read&manipulate a nt-registry over the net... maybe one could write a script that gets the user-information out of an nt-server this way?. The passwords are another problem, they are stored encrypted on an nt-server, so they can't be converted to linux-passwords - but maybe they can be used for the smbpasswd file....? Hope this helps, Florian Pflug
