Hi,

I just wanted to add to this last note.  The term is "distinguished name" and 
this is what needs to be used when prompted for a username.  Also, to give this 
users the necessary rights to backup a 4.1x server, in the NWADMIN utility set 
the user equal to the "server object".   There is absolutely no need to use a 
Bindery context with ADSM.

One last note, the correct syntax for the distinguished name is to use a period 
to separate each item.  Thus, the line .CN=TOTO,OU=CITY.O=COMPANYX should be 
.CN=TOTO.OU=CITY.O=COMPANYX where there is a period after TOTO and not a comma.
