Hi, Bill..
My personal aesthetic is that any viable central administration system
for user accounts MUST have the ability to allow a local machine to
override the central administration at times. If this is not possible
with DCE, then either it will change or DCE will die.
For what it's worth:
DCE has this, in the form of password and group overrides.
Many DCE products are set up so that when you configure a machine as a
client of a DCE cell, the password override file receives an entry for
"root", with the password being the previous root password of the
machine extracted from /etc/passwd..
