I've got a problem.  Our installation has three Gould powernodes
all having hardwires to each other so users can tip from on machine to          the other.  Which works fine unless you are root and try to tip,
the remote machine doesn't recognize root's passwd.  Could this be a "security
feature", for lack of a better term, of tip or is something else hosing up the 
login procedure ?

Thanks in advance.
