If you must do it, then make it an "OPIE " prefix, and let whatever string is there show up. I would really prefer that this be controllable with a policy option (e.g. via pam.conf), assuming it has to be there at all. Presumably, the admin will know the system is using OPIE (having configured it to do so), and the admin will tell the users about this at the time the accounts are granted. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
