Yes, and Unix authentication is too complicated :-(

Unfortunately not because there are too many ways for the users to make
it writable again (they can delete and create directories and files in
their home directories with ftp and scp and the menu system). We might
be able to lock things down more in a future version of the system,
but we're stuck with the way it is until then.

Thanks for being receptive.

Tony.
