hello, If someone can help me with the following problem it would greatly be appreciated: I am a stand in sysadmin that doesn't know shell scripting and needs telnet to be disabled only for users so administrators can go in and do their stuff and then after they have done there stuff (on a set time) every user will be able to login to telnet that has access to telnet (i.e. a shell account) and can provide a correct user and pass. Thanks for the help in advace, Joshua
