Once we gets to this point it could either wait forever or until another predetermined amount of time. If the passwd is wrong, log the user out. This might at least stop other people from happening along & doing rm *.* :-) bernie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bernard Bediako SUNY/Buffalo Computer Science UUCP: ..!{ames,boulder,decvax,rutgers}!sunybcs!ugbernie Internet: ugbernie@cs.Buffalo.EDU BITNET: ugbernie@sunybcs.BITNET
