Phase two is about to take place. This should be 100% invisible to those of you who use SSH to "auto-login". It should have a predictable impact on folk who wish to use a password in that the registered password will be used. At a time-to-be-precisely-announced; the majority of user accounts on freefall will be replaced by equivalent entries in a NIS map. If you do not know what this is, please "man NIS". Essentially it gives network control to certain files in /etc (most importantly /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group). The changeover should be seamless, so please do not be concerned. This is your last chance to set up SSH for password-free logins.
