Although if you use iijppp, you're out of luck. It's also got a user manager tool, a LaserJet "control panel", and a replacement for xdm (which doesn't seem to work quite well, but it's a nice start). If you're looking at tk admin tools, tkcron looks useful. - alex "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern technology.
