That they have 2003Server at the old school is my suspicion. I'll go check
out the SSLexplorer and see what I can do.
I thought I had my hands full re-figuring out how to make smbldap work on my
fat client edubuntu workstations and ubuntu server. This adds fuel to the
fire -- I only have 6 weeks til school starts. Yikes! If I had no other
clients, it wouldn't be so bad.
Thanks for the advice.
