I would propose a different subsection here instead of solaris.admin.usermgr, to do with modifying your own data: the ability to change all other (shell/gecos) fields should be separate from being able to modify your own. Even or especially an admin might need to be stopped from modifying his/her own data, so that two person rule control can be set up. Bart
