1732.0. "Question on password updating on a BDC" by WOTVAX::SHARKEYA (LoginN - even makes the coffee@) Mon Feb 03 1997 13:06

    Question:
    
    If an OSF/1 server is a BDC will the UNIX passwords get updated when
    the PDC sends out the LM password updates ? (ASsuming the unix and LM
    accounts are linked).
    
    Thanks

	ok - answered myself.... The PDC sends out a LM password change. The BDC picks it up and updates its local UAS (or SAM). It does NOT change the native password. Same issue if a Windows 95 PC changes a LM password. The native one is not updated. So, its up to another program to do this ! Alan
