First, I want to thank you for the sendmail authentication instructions you posted to the SUSE list back on Dec 16. I'm not sure where I came across this but I have a printed copy that I've used to set my server.
However, I do have a question...
What are the following trust mechanisms for: GSSAPI, DPA, and NTLM?

quote : "The GSSAPI is a generic API for doing client-server authentication. The motivation behind it is that every security system has it's own API, and the effort involved with adding different security systems to applications is extremely difficult with the variance between security APIs. However, with a common API, application vendors could write to the generic API and it could work with any number of security systems." best is see rfc 2743 rfc1509 rfc1964 DPA is Distributed Password Authentication agains an membership database (mcis) NTLM authentication is means of sending a username/password via encrypted text. hth andre
