I am having touble getting Netinfo to work.  Users on my 'station cannot do
a 'passwd -s' or a 'passwd -f' without getting this error messgae:

Cannot change finger information or shell with NetInfo (yet).

I tried running NetinfoManager, and added a _write_passwd and _write_shell
entries to each user with the attributes set to the user name, but that didn't
work either. 

Any thoughts?
