I assume you'll have a cronjob of some sort running on the "client" machines which snags the password file off the "server" machine? No big deal, after it copies the password file, run a script on it to change their shells back to whatever you want. Nothing sed, awk, or perl couldn't handle. -jg -- Jeremy L.
