I just found out that atalk uses its own passwd for rand2num (2-way encryed
password). I would like to know how can I use /etc/passwd | shadow as my
main passwd? Many users do not want to use 2 different passwds or to
change passwd twice if they need to. Because security issue, I have to
disable ssh/telnet for local users, so I want to be able to let them to
change their passwd throug AppleTalk and it will auto update the main
/etc/passwd | shadow. Please help!
