If I'm right, FreeBSD uses MD5 to encrypt the passwords in master.passwd. But under Linux, the passwords are just crypted using crypt() (provided by libcrypt) in /etc/shadow. You may set a new password to the non priviledged users. They can change it to whatever they like (and to whatever's quiet secure). > What about diskquotas?

But remember, you need to compile your own kernel to use quotas. Cheers, Thomas --=20 .-.
