What does update encrypted REALLY do? I don't mean to get an answer like "keeps encrypted passwords synced with the plain text ones." I know this is what it does in theory, but when/how/in what configuration? I know that it has been doing nothing for me when people login over unencrypted means and I have the parameter turned on. Is a password change what triggers this update? Thanks for the info -- the man page tells me nothing I don't already know. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630
