Hi Lars,

The front login page is dynamically built in
/home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache/lonlogin.pm

You can modify that to change the appearance of the front page.

The only way I know of right now to stop a user from modifying their
own passwd, is to setup the permissions on the password file so that
www can't modify it.

This however makes lond blow up currently.

Maybe in 1.0.1
