Re: Access servers

["Antonio Godinho" <antonio at nambu.uem.mz>]

I am using both the users file and the /etc/passwd on a Solaris 
Machine for Radius authentication. The thing is that some are 
UUCP users which I have to use the passwd file. In this case then I 
gather that it is not possible to use the dbm system.

Cheers,
