Re: DNS/Kerberos/LDAP integration question

Thank you for your reply. It *un-muddles* me a bit, but still doesn't
answer my question of whether LDAP is involved in the logon process. Your
answer implies that it does not, and I am willing to accept that, provided
no one else jumps in on this thread and proves us both wrong. :-)
