Can't get DS to do native authentication

Hi,

OSX Server 10.2.2, client 10.2.2

I have a setup where a MacOSX lab authenticates via LDAP via a bridge, to a
Novell E-Directory.

I also want my users to be able to ftp into my MacOSX Server to access their
home directories from Windows or from off campus.

Unfortunately ftpd on MacOSX Server does not authenticate to DS.

I have tried making a test tool to authenticate a user and password to DS,
using example code in the DS docs, and also in the DS SDK from apple.
Unfortunately, neither set of example code works, even for a local
NetInfo-based user with known password.

Even the test tool in DS SDK that creates 150 local users and then tries to
authenticate them with native DS authentication fails!

I can see where in the ftpd(.c) I would put the code in - that's not the
problem.

Does anyone know anything about this issue? I can provide more details about
exactly what I have tried to do if you need it. If anyone can confirm that it
definitely works for them, that would be useful too. I know that there must
surely be a way to make this work, or else lots of software on OSX would fail!

Lastly, does anyone know exactly which ftpd is used on MacOSX Server 10.2.2?
There are 2 different ones on opendarwin.org, lukemftpd and ftpd. I am
guessing that as long as I get the right one, I should be able to add my
extra authentication for DS, and use my binary as a drop-in replacement.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen Brandon
