There is a program called VNC (virtual network computing -- uk.research.att.com/vnc) which is basically an opensourced cross-platform replacement for pc anywhere type software. It's excellent. But it's authentication is lacking. It asks for a single password, and has no support for usernames (at least none that is useful to me). VNC is distributed under the GPL. Sanba has the ability to authenticate against a windows NT domain, and is also distributed under the GPL. Last night I downloaded the source to samba, and started looking around. I obviously have no idea what I'm doing. I believe I found the stuff I need, but have no clue what to do with it. I believe that there would be many uses for an opensourced, well documented library specifically to do authentication against an NT domain. Maybe this already exists, but I figure it would have been used in samba if it did. So basically what I'm asking is, can the bits used to authenticate against an NT domain bedocumented thoroughly ? Maybe even packaged independantly ? And if you feel like merging the code into VNC, I certainly wouldn't object :) (it is the windows version I'm interested in) This capability may be the factor which decides wheither or not my co-workers and I will continue to be allowed to use VNC. __________________________________________________________________ PGP fingerprint = 03 5B 9B A0 16 33 91 2F A5 77 BC EE 43 71 98 D4 darxus@op.net / op.net/~darxus Pain makes you real.
