I just files a bugzilla on this, but I wonder if others have observed this behavior. I would assume that I was late and someone else noticed this. In FC4test3 the passwd program returns Bad passwd messages at inappropriate times. For example: the passwd: lkd45j returns: Bad passwd: it is too simple. What is too simple about that passwd? the passwd: fgk08p returns: Bad passwd: passwd based on (reversed) dictionary word. Now you puzzle players out there. What word is fgk08p based on? I know it is the fgk that is doing it but I don't know why. This is very annoying. -- ======================================================================= Basic is a high level languish.
