Thanks Tejas

What if our unix NIS domain and windows domain are separate entities? Is
it possible to authorize a user on a media server when the account does
not exist i.e unix & windows accounts are different ?

Dave

>> windows and unix use different authentication methods which vxss
relies on therefore from the command logged in as userA on a unix box
how do you pull info from a windows media server ? 

Dave,
As long as both media servers (on unix and windows) are part of the same
Root Broker hierarchy and the logged in user has been authorized on both
media servers, you should be able to to pull info with the same user.

Once again, please refer to the yellow book for details.
