It belongs to a student @ The Hobart College, Tasmania, Australia Try http://www.hobart.tased.edu.au All mailusers have the shell /usr/bin/mailsh that ask them if they want to change their password and if they do invokes passwd. If they don't or when they have finished passwd they get exited. I have tried to break out into a 'normal' shell but couldn't do it so I think it's safe. This is really a cheap hack but I am learning as I go along........ Andrew
