In SVR3.2.1 (which I just got) you get a file called /etc/shadow which contains all the password information, and a maintence program to do all the mucking about with password you would like. You also get password aging by days instead of weeks. And you should SEE what they did to lp (et. al.) They have forms, transformation filters (automatic), print wheel/font cartredge support, most standard options, allow/deny users to printers forms and filters, automatic printer selection by all of the above, and terminfo definitions for printers (including GRAPHICS and microspacing). They did, however, mess up one thing REAL BAD! Only lp or root can mount forms/fonts! AT&T and I are having a little talk about the bad part, so we will see. Rob.
