SUMMARY: Sudden problem with shared user accounts

All;

Brian Beers suggested something which solved my problem. He suggested that I
run the profile listing each shared ID one at a time to determine when it
bombs. 

I had a shared user account "ct".  Since the 'who' command started returning
the date "Oct 1", a match was made, and the test succeeded, and all people
logging in were trapped by the test.

Talk about a "BFO"  (Blinding Flash of the Obvious).

Many thanks to Brian (BBeers@verisign.com), and these others:

Christopher McNabb (cmcnabb@vt.edu) - who suggested an alternative method
which I am investigating.
Roland.Merk@AUDI.DE
crist.clark@globalstar.com - who pointed out a weakness in the process I am
using
ramanathan meyyappan (ramanathan@walla.com)

And I wish to thank all those who are on vacation. I'll be on vacation next
week, but I promise I won't tell the world.
