We're picturing different set-ups : I'm thinking of a campus system, where the machine is in a locked room accessible to the sysadmin (root) & users log in somewhere else via machines which act as terminals ; you are perhaps refering to a family or small-office machine, where there are no other means of access, but users log in separately. You are correct in the latter case. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
