   He initially used one ip, which I did lock out.. then he eventually came in   
   from others.. that's when I decided to password the new users.. I figured   
   doing things this way would give me time at least to trap all of the other   
   ip's he'd come in with, and possible work on the script to give 'real' new   
   users the password :)  I don't know if he would have continued with different   
   ips as you describe (sounds terrible!)... but I wasn't willing to wait to find   
   out Lol   
      
   Thanks for your note, Mike, I appreciate it :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
