You have a program called "login", that you have to run to get non-world access to the UNIX file system. It goes into /etc/passwd and does all the password verification type stuff, then lets you "be" the user you selected. Sure, it's insecure as all hell. But once you've booted up under AmigaOS you've blown security away anyway. And it's a model that works well in other PC-UNIX file sharing arrangements. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
