Hi Clint,

OK.

>Here are the current passwd entries:
>mcidas:x:20021:2000:McIDAS system:/home/mcidas:/bin/csh
>mcadde:x:20031:2000:McADDE Server:/home/mcadde:/bin/csh

No, I think that the entry for mcadde should be something like:

mcadde:x:20031:2000:McIDAS ADDE Remote Sserver:/home/mcidas:/bin/false

The important part of the change is the '/bin/false' for the shell.

>Then, in inetd.conf, the current line is:

>mcservsh -H /hom
> e/mcidas

No, I already changed the /etc/inetd.conf entry to use /home/mcidas (the
last item on the line is the ch-rooted HOME (-H)).

Cheers,

Tom
