I have not done any work on this part yet... (sorry)

If you have done work, and want me to host it, let me know. If you are hosting it, let me know so I can link to you.

I do not plan on doing any work on reverse engineering this authentication for logging into their Mac OS X Server. My interrest was purely for solving the multiple Mac OS X NetBoot Servers per subnet problem.

The way I see it is this: if you want to authenticate to a Mac OS X Server, then why not get a Mac OS X Server and run it.

Comments and/or suggestions?: Email me at: dugan@passwall.com(Realize that I am very busy, and may not have time to respond to all E-mail messages. If you include NETBOOT MACNC (all Caps) as beginning it is more likely to get my attention... ;-)
