alternative passwd file

    Problem:

        On a DEC Unix system that will contain thousands of accounts
        in which users can only ftp in, users can still pull down
        a copy of /etc/passwd, thus, giving them the ability to
        look at usernames/encrypted passwords.

        Running enhanced security and utilizing the password
        authentication database is not an option at this time.

    Questions:

        Is there a working, trustworthy passwd/shadow file
        solution for DEC Unix available?

                              OR

        Is there a way to limit where the users can 'change directory'
        to during an ftp session? (prevent them from cd'ing to /etc)
        I am using the version of ftp that comes with DEC Unix 3.2D.

    Thanks,
