RE: (PM) Logging into an NT domain

Hello
If you use Radius NT, you can get it to point at the system password file,
which for NT is the Domain database if Radius NT is on a PDC or BDC.
"set nbns x.x.x.x" sets the NetBiosNameServer or WINS server in Mickyspeek.
"set nbns 2 x.x.x.x" sets an alternate one.
This nbns setting only works if the dns is also set in the PM.
Good Luck
James
