- it's not right now since wafalias assumes that people with the same username
- in the shell and in waffle are the same person...
-
- maybe the 'add a shell user' script needs to add a corresponding waffle user
- and the 'waffle newuser signup' needs to add a corresponding shell account
- (obviously with only one of them able to be logged into).
-
- there are other waffle sites out there under unix...
- what do YOU folks do ???
