From: *Hobbit* <AWalker@RUTGERS.ARPA> Thanx for all the replies, guys! They pointed me in the right direction. It turns out that under 4.0 you can disable an account for all kinds of process *types*, so I just set any ole password and enabled SYSTEM for batch-only logins [like booting!!!]. It works fine, and there's no way in hell you can log in from the outside unless you can create a batch-type process. 4.0 security is *nutso*. The Guide to System Security really had me rolling on the floor at times. You can make the whole machine go off like a firehouse when someone types FOO.TXT... _H* -------
