haha. Very funny. Sorry, I've been working and I've been really busy, so I didn't have much time to reply. Thank you for this response, but just to clarify, can I use this to log into a linux system. For example, could I change the root password on the central server and that trickles down to each of the clients. -- Jessie Morris /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
