Then I suspect you are going to have to, as root, type passwd amanda, and enter a new, known passwd for the amanda account. However, here, I can as root, do an su amanda and become amanda to the whois command, so there may be something else at work as I do not have to supply the amanda passwd to become amanda from root. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
