Do not compromise a system to cater to bad [stupid, ignorant, you pick] users. If this is an issue then educate the users. > Wrong. I use a program called pwgen to generate passwords for me, which I cannot remember. I use another program I built to store them in an encrypted file. When I have to supply a password which I've forgotten (as usual), I fire up my password "vault", find the password, and paste it wherever it's needed. Users would be wise to follow a scheme like this, rather than using their dog's name or somesuch as their passwords. Paul -- Paul M.
