RE: Setting NT & AS400 passwords

I think the problem with DIY password synchro is finding all the d@%n PWL
files and other security resources (MDC, authority lists, etc) that Windows
networking uses.  I think tools like SMS and the like may also be necessary
to distribute policies and whatnot.....  I'd really hate to tackle this
beast.  FWIW, I know very little about managing Windows networking and
security.
