| Huh?  When you install SCO Unix, you are given the choice of whether

You missed a thread from about a month ago.  I *have* relaxed security; I
installed it that way.  Unfortunately, this didn't stop it from screaming
about security violations when I attempted to add a new shell to the sysadmsh
list of configurable login shells.  Among other things.
