Yesterday, while running userreg and filling in information for myself
to help Scott Thorne in DNCS-Apps track down a bug in another program
(reg_extra), out of idle curiosity I decided to complete the procedure
(even after it looked me up in the Registrar's database, which is what
Scott needed to know). To my surprise it allowed me to continue to
give a new username and password and lo and behold today I can login
as another account. Interesting feature, hmmm?

P.S. I'd like to keep the ping@athena.mit.edu Kerberos instance, if
nobody minds... I rather like it. :)
