I am currently setting up a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 network (about a dozen machines). Some of them, the modem-handlers, will have a user login, and their shell will be (effectively) a rlogin to one of the user hosts. Now, the problem that I have is that they'll never stay on the modem hosts, yet, I want them to be able to change their passwords on that system. What I was originally thinking of was to have a host with a full master.passwd file that they could telnet to and change their passwords to have it propigate, but I'm not sure exactly how to implement it. Any ideas are welcome. -brian
