This would work if the fppath has nothing on the forth line.  It seems 
there is no way around it.  If the fppath, (no other name and no way to 
change what file it uses) has a not-null 4th line, any process table 
without a site password will be assigned whatever is set on line 4.

The PFSP variable will override a not-null password but will not allow a 
setting which will leave the table with no password.

Editing the passwords out of the file is not an option - too much to 
remember.

I will have to use the utilities menu to set the sitepassword to blank 
when I work on this system.  Maybe I will add the setpassword program 
question to the main customers I work on and then I will set it back and 
forth.  (What a pain.)

Someone asked why it was easy on Windows.  Instead of having only one 
fppath file, like Unix/Linux, windows reads the fppath file in the 
current working folder.  So it was only necessary to have a different 
fppath in the working folder for your project.  It could even be copied 
in and removed as you start and end a batch file to work on that customer.
