I've tried dropping the account required line on both the php and httpd files in /etc/pam.d, but that doesn't help. I've also tried changing common-auth so that the first line is auth sufficient pam_krb5.so but this doesn't work either. I don't need any login information...(Mail authentication works, for instance, even though it doesn't return login information, but I'm not sure how secure it is)...I *just* need to know if the username and password are valid on the domain specified in my krb5.conf file. Any other ideas? Thanks, Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nils O.
