Do user accounts and passwords used for PC NetLink synchronize with the
NIS accounts? The NetLink server would be on the same system as the NIS
server. Or do I have to keep separate accounts and passwords? Also, any
recommendations on the product. I have about 1000 users all with both PC
and UNIX accounts and would like to get them into a single password -
changeable from either environment.

Thanks.

Yes, you can synchronize accounts with the NIS-accounts, but NO, you
cannot synchronize the passwords. :((  You can keep separate accounts
and passwords, but if you have to give your users a new Netlink password,
you can also update your NIS with these new passwords...

No recommendations on the product yet. We're going to test it in about
3 weeks. I'm not quitte sure if the (single) password is changable from
either environment.

1. PC NetLink question

Hi Folks,
        Windows users connected to our Sun with PC NetLink want to save
their files which have the names with non iso8859-1 characters, say the file
name is composed from iso8859-2 chars. Is there any possibility to force PC
NetLink to save files with their original names and such avoid character
remapping?

        Thanks
