On Linux, use the '-s' switch with usermod or useradd (or perhaps chuser and adduser on BSD -- syntax may vary). For example, usermod -s /usr/bin/passwd some_user (assuming that passwd is located in /usr/bin on your system). Or, you could just edit the /etc/passwd file and replace /bin/false with /usr/bin/passwd. John Blumel - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
