Many thanks to various folks that have offered help and question answering
services.  

Particular thanks to Eric P. Scott (wet!epsilon@cca.ucsf.edu), who helped me
set up "slave" nameservice, and suggested using Microsoft Word(tm) format
output from WriteNow being at least near to ascii.

Particular thanks also to the fellow who posted the WriteNow to troff
converter (I can't get to the article just now).

There's a problem with a misattribution:  John Marco managed to make his
response look like a quote from a posting of mine.  The "I haven't been, etc.
is part of John Marco's response, and not my quote.

With respect to the "su" problem, I was able to create the secondary root
login just fine, once I got rid of the second copy of "users" in NetInfo.
While I had two "users" entries, it was interesting that I managed to get
an "Intruder Alert" message from "su".

My apologies for getting a bit snide in my previous message.  I have been
trying my best to prevent outright flamage, and would appreciate the same
from responders.

Thanks for support, and for people reminding Avadis that he's appreciated.
