  14. I am having touble getting Netinfo to work.  Users on my 'station cannot do
  15. a 'passwd -s' or a 'passwd -f' without getting this error messgae:
  16.  
  17. Cannot change finger information or shell with NetInfo (yet).
  18.  
  19. I tried running NetinfoManager, and added a _write_passwd and _write_shell
  20. entries to each user with the attributes set to the user name, but that didn't
  21. work either. 
  22.  
  23. Any thoughts?
