I lost the copy of the file and I would know like to add this feature. Does anyone know how this can be done? Do I just need to add the crypt function to one of the libraries and then change the login program so it calls getpass. I would then crypt the passwd and then compare it to the encrypted copy in the passwd file. Is this all I need to do or is there more. Any help would be appreciated. Allen
