I understand the /etc/passwd.sgi file and the "noshow" thingy (look at
my original posting).  Even after putting the "noshows" in the passwd.sgi
file, an incredible amount of network traffic is generated by pandora
searching in everyones home directory on other machines.  What I want
is something like "show" where only those peoples directories are searched.
What I don't want is all the network traffic.
