That was very quick. I am enjoying being on this list.
Another person (Alastair Scott) also mentioned something similar. I had a little doubt/hint about it myself but, wasn't surte until you guys are also confirming my doubt. Hope it is the way we think it is. I am going to experiment with it to be sure. By the way, does anybody know the time period that we all seem to be mentioning here !

Something is seriously wrong with this release !! So many bugs, so many mistakes.....How did they release it so soon !!!!Calm down. You obviously haven't investigated very thoroughly. It's not true that it NEVER asks you for the root password again. Instead, the root password remains good for a given number of minutes, THEN if you start MCC again you have to login as root again. This is in fact one of the most bug-free releases I've seen, especially for an x.0 release. You don't need to get hysterical. Dale Huckeby
