Paul -

In scanning the OSK docs, I noted that the Tsmon provided is a clone of the
OS9-Net oriented Mtsmon (Microware's - not mine/Carl's).. In looking at it, I
*think* I noted that password files are STILL not using encrypted password
fields! Can this be true? Please tell me no...

Also - if the 'fix' is simply to adjust the attributes on the PW file for
root-only read, that's no fix. All the password related C functions (Unix,
Kreider LIB, and possibly soon to be OSK LIB) won't care for that at all.

Pete
