I understand that choosing an ENHANCED level of security, the passwords will be stored in /etc/atuh.pag. The present password file will be converted to this format. All this is fine, but I am wondering what I am going to need to do to my adduser program (autoadd which I got off the net somewhere). How do I update the auth file from a C program ? I did not recieve all my docs yet, but edauth has a reference to audcntl(2). Is audcntl what I am looking for? If so can someone mail the man page. Or is there a new version of autoadd I can get? Also, are there any quirks in 4.0 that I should watch for? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ellen Davis Ellen.Davis@UC.Edu | | Phone: (513) 556-5681 | | University of Cincinnati Computing Center edavis@ucunix.san.uc.edu | | B3 Beecher Hall ML. 088 edavis@ucbeh.bitnet | | Cincinnati, Ohio 45221 ucbeh::edavis | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
