Hi everybody!

  We just ran into the question how it might be possible to share Logins
between a UNIX-Server and a Mac-Server (we store the Logins on the UNIX side).

  One way I can imagine which might work well would be a NIS client for
MacOS, but I haven't seen something like this for Macintosh!

  Another thing I have heard, was PAM (password authentification modules),
about which I currently do not know anything! What is it? Can I use it for
this purpose? What do I have to do?

  Does anybody here have set up something like this?
