I did the rlogin, added the portmaster to the .rhost. Works great. I just
downloaded RADIUS today and will take a look at it. I suspect that we need
to use something like it since I don't know how many users and hostfiles etc
that the PM2 will hold in memory. I am pretty sure that I will run out of
mamory on this thing eventually. I got about 150 dial in users right now,
and I add aboout 5 to 10 new ones every month.

So on to the next project; how to let myself and my co-admin here log in
through the PM2 and get to the NT side of the network.

Thanks for your help.

Otto
