Umm... I think that is a university problem. The PhD-students at
our lab never want to change their passwords. When I first started
my work at the dept, the previous "sysadmin" told me he had managed
to reach a consensus by having a 6 month period between changes. If
the students would have had their way, it would have been 5 years
or some such. I implemented, by force, a 2 month period for
changing the pwds. I'd rather have it at one month though. I might
do it stealthily anyway. >>8->

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know,
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
