I would disagree with you there. We do not want to have root password files on hundreds of thin client workstations, if we have to change the root password for those workstations, we want to change it once. If the computer boots without network services, we don't care, because it dosen't have anything of value on it. When the network comes back up, just reboot it, these things are designed to be 'dumb'. -- Damien Tougas Systems Administrator Carroll-Net, Inc. http://www.carroll.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
