concerning using central login authentication for NeXTs.  We have a Sun
running yellow pages, so just putting a + at the end of /etc/passwd on
each NeXT lets any user login on any workstation.  (Yeah, there's a little
more to it, but it's basically very simple.)

Writing your own login window with Interface Builder would be a fun exercise,
but why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to?
