The section in the User Release Notes on page 11 that begins "You can now
restrict remote access..." is not clear. It leads one to ask the following
questions, which should be answered explicitly in the document:
1. Has the default behavior changed, or does the user who had previously
restricted access (both remote and local) to a specific list of users need to
take specific action to either change the behavior or leave it the same as it
was?
2. What if the file /etc/noremote does not exist? What if I don't want to
have a special message print out when an unauthorized user tries to log in?
Is the file necessary, or just a way of changed a default message?
3. "If you do this ..." do what?
"... you should set the corresponding variable NOREMOTE ..." to what?
