I am not sure how you would set that up without either having a user account
on the box or in the LDAP type system used for the network.  Every tutorial
I have ever read says that an account has to be created for the user.  If
you find one or learn how to do it, please share, but I am not really sure
how you are going to get around it.

Regards,

Jeff
