Toy, re: Initially NDS will be providing a single point of administration for Unix user security systems. What does that mean, what is a "Unix user security systems"? Do you have any links you can provide where I can read about NDS on UNIX. I've searched Novells site, Sun and HP's and Sun has one article over a year old saying Novell and Sun will cooperate on Java/NDS ties - but that's about all they say. Longer term objectives would be to head toward a single login. This is not as easy a task since many legacy applications need to be upgraded in order to allow a single login and authentication from a Directory Service like NDS (i.e. Telnet, 3270, etc.). As for UNIX, authentication is provided by a single service easily replaced or augmented and nothing to do with telnet, and 3270 is a display device last I checked. Thanks, Eric
