Hi.

I'm gathering information about network based password systems that
could be used under Mach - IE, it'd be nice if users could run some
command on any old machine in a given cluster (realm?) to change
their password, rather than having to log onto a server first.

The info is being gathered in part to get my MS project out of the
way (I may choose to write such a thing using Kerberos 4), and in
part because such a thing would be useful in a local RT lab.

Descriptions, or even notification, of existing systems would be
appreciated.  I'm aware of yellow pages and Athena SMS, but synopses of
their design would be helpful as well.  I'll summarize if there's
interest.

- Dan
