Responses: Eric: nope, no other authentication mechanisms. Every other Tru64 server that we have is pretty much the same and I double checked with them. JT: Thats what I'm hoping (still using the file somehow). I'm fearing a crash/reboot until we can restore from backup... Alex: ls shows the names, no uid's. thats odd.
