AppleShare 2.0, due out this summer, allows users to change their own
passwords and allows the AppleShare Admin program to run while AppleShare
itself is operating.  Thus you can add and change users and groups without
taking the server down.  It also has other improvements, but I'll have to
refer you to the press releases since I can't remember them all.
