Not sure what you're problem is here. I can set passwords from any netscape.
Whether it is running on the actual server doesn't seem relevant. But as for
being able to run netscape, you can use the management interface through Lynx,
you just have to work around the lack of frames. For that matter, if you have
an X capable box, you can run Netscape on the server and redirect the X
display to whereever you are. I just can seem to figure out why that would have
anything to do with being able to set user passwords!
