With some module modification, there is room for it to work. (SAY) have a new option on the module "check_exists", and that causes the module to silently succeed if the relevant user exists. Then make that module/option combo requisite for your auth stack. M -- Mark Murray Warning: this .sig is umop ap!sdn
