You have to get your system administrator to either setup the service or give you enough privileges to administer the account. btw. there is a good reason to force administrator privileges when administering cvsnt services. The service has the ability to become any user... It's relatively easy to craft a combination of passwd/loginfo which will execute as a system administrator (I won't go into details but the hack is rounghly on the level of 'trivial'). Because of this only trusted users should be able to alter the passwd file. Tony
