You are obviously on top of the situation, Craig.  It sounds like you have a 
first class system going there.  I just wish all sysadmins would take the 
time to plan that well!  

The only reason I replied to your message was to point out this "gotcha" that 
can happen if you use a challenge/response system.  My message and your reply 
will end up in the archives where hopefully other admins will discover the 
information.

Best regards,

Barry
