Is there a way to check if the user has given us the correct administrator password?

There isn't necessarily a singular administrator account, and of course then there's also root.

First you might check to verify that they gave you a admin user by checking to see if it's a member of the admin group.

Next you can check that the password they gave you is correct with `chkpasswd`; see it's man page.

Hi, Dan-- That's sounds great, thank you :) All My Best, Jeffrey _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
