I believe it would be much more advisable to fix the "root users of workstations." Only adminstration personel (presumably the ones setting the IP addresses) should have the root password. If there are things that "normal" users need root permissions to accomplish (such as mounting CD-ROMs), investigate the sudo command - I believe it's in the ports/packages. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
