Hi,

Unix.Oberon.NetSystem.Mod,
Password = POINTER TO PasswordDesc;
PasswordDesc = RECORD
  service, user, host, passwd: ARRAY 64 OF CHAR;
  next: Password
END;

Reference,
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/credential#Noun 1.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/password#Noun 2.

My assertion: a password is one component of a credential.  Therefore 
this declaration represents the concepts better.

Unix.Oberon.NetSystem.Mod,
Credential = POINTER TO CredentialDesc;
CredentialDesc = RECORD
  service, user, host, passwd: ARRAY 64 OF CHAR;
  next: Credential
END;

Comments?  Does anyone object to me making this change?

Thanks,                        ... P.L.
