Hi Gunnar,

You're probably right. A big password file would probably take up most
of the floppy and running multi-user would start needing more RAM. At
what point is it cheaper and easier to use a hard drive? Anyway, a
floppy based PicoBSD is more suited for routers and such. By the way, in
case anyone is interested, there is an unpriviledged user password and
directory allready set up by Abial. Look at /etc/master.passwd file. To
change the password for "user", log in as root an do passwd user. Yo
will get a propt for the new password...You could also hack more users
using the "user" entry as a template, changing the parameters to suit
your application.....
