RE: Use for an idle 270 - NT Authentication?

It can do it in V5R2...I dunno about earlier.

iSeries NetServer domain logon support
In an effort to remove the need for a Windows server to handle domain
logon services in an SMB domain, iSeries NetServer has been enhanced to
provide this support. Windows clients are able to logon to an iSeries
NetServer domain just as they would logon to an NT domain. Additional
advantages of iSeries NetServer providing these services include: 

iSeries as a primary location for user information and domain logon
authentication (including home directory and logon scripts) 
Storage and retrieval of Windows user profiles on iSeries, including
Desktop, Start Menu, Favorites, and so on 
Storage, retrieval, and maintenance of Windows system policies from the
iSeries 
iSeries NetServer provides specific services necessary or directly
related to logon support. Thus, iSeries NetServer will identify itself
as a PDC and function as a Domain Master Browser (DMB) if it is
configured as a Logon Server, but iSeries NetServer cannot function as a
Backup Domain Controller, nor can it dynamically replicate Logon related
information to WinNT Domain Controllers. See the following pages for
more information:
