Thanks John, I think I'll go down the road of trying to convince them to use SQL Server authentication since it is the path of least resistance. I'll archive your note in case I lose that battle and have to start poking more firewall holes (sigh).

Hrm, that may explain our problems. We *do* have a firewall between our freetds machine and the NT PDC. The FreeTDS box is one of ours, the SQL Server is on our client's network.

We've already poked holes in the firewall for port 1433 between our FreeTDS server and the SQL Server, I'm assuming NT authentication will require additional ports?


Yes.

If so which.


Dunno offhand, sorry. Start with:

http://www.schemamania.org/projects/freetds/build/doc/userguide/x1382.htm
and http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html

Microsoft documents it, too. See the SQL Server documentation, Samba docs,
or, you know, google-is-your-friend.

(Sigh) Sorry, I don't personally maintain any NT/2003 boxes so this wasn't immediately obvious to me.


No worries. HTH.
