Well I did not get many replies, so I also asked sun!
The answers I got agreed with the table above and that it was a much nicer
package then previous releases.
1) The main points raised were that you do store your password in two different
locations, so if the user does not keep the UNIX/PC password the same, then
they will be prompted for both, but if they are the same then you get ONE
LOGIN.
2) Future releases of SNC may and most probably include addition features and
support for NT 5.
