We're looking at using CAP for file sharing, in circumstances where the CAP
users do not necessarily have Unix accounts on the CAP server.  The ru-cap2
distribution contains several references to a lookaside password file, but I
have been unable to find any unified explanation of what such a file can do.
Do I need DES routines?  If I do, where can I get appropriate ones? (Will the
free DES routines developed in Finland work?)

What provisions does CAP have for allowing users to change their passwords
using the AppleTalk facilities?

I appreciate any help you can offer.  I've read and grepped the documentation,
looking for Answers, but no luck so far.  :-)
