Yes, Brian..... man login is indeed my friend.  The real problem is that I 
didn't think to look there.  I googled stuff like
Linux Users, did man useradd, man pam, but never having typed in "login", I 
didn't think to look there.

Man pages etc. have all the information; the problem is knowing where to look.

Everyday I learn new things.

Thanks
