an improvement? in what ways? ok, per default it comes with more 'desktop
utilities'. but that's about it. Any functional improvements of CDE over
openlook are totally overshadowed by it's sickening ugliness... (that chunky
Motif 1.x look.... ughh)

i've seen it. tried installing it myself, but got really frustrated by
OpenServer's inability to recognise the second ide controller. At that point
i gave up - or i'd have ended microwaving the CD, and it wasn't mine...

aye, i saw something about enabling 'password aging', so i guess it's in
there somewhere. Just have to have a good dig round for it. Wonder if adding
shadow: files nis
to nsswitch.conf would do it?
