I've been playing with this for hours and not worked it out. Has anyone got a passwd chat string that works with Solaris 2.6 or something near it? I turned on debugging, but after wading through the megabytes of output, I still see little if any correlation between changes to the passwd chat string and lines appearing in the log. So can someone be nice and send me something? Thanks. -------- Jon Peterson jon@amxstudios.com London, UK Microsoft has a major year 2000 problem: Linux
