I'm surprised you had to go this far (well, sort of surprised). Does anyone else want a real tty NI client? I have this dream of being able to run like this: % NI > set domain . > list /users /users/root /users/bin ... > login name: root password: xxxxx OK > read passwd /etc/passwd 1936 records read > enter passwd name: foo passwd: * uid: 12 ... > quit I'd rather not write it myself (I've used the NI library calls, and I don't want to do it again), but if no one else gets the urge, I just might. -=- J Greely (jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu; osu-cis!jgreely)
