Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a 486/66 with FreeBSD 2.2.6 installed. It has a 8 port serial card connects several old PCs running terminal emulation program for DOS. I added 8 new users named stud1 -- stud8. Their passwords are same as their login names. Each user can run c/c++ compiler, perl5, gdb and common commands. They all belong to group student. But I do not want them to execute passwd for that will cause extra sys-admin tasks. The default permission of passwd is -r-sr-xr-x. Change permission or hide passwd is unwise for other users will feel discomfort. Any suggestions?
