Please see in Beta2 RelNotes pag.52, Increased Password Length. What about character set used for storing passwords - this question makes no sense, passwords are not stored, hashes for them are stored instead. One may use non-ascii characters for apsswords, but in beta2 this will cause troubles when using services. Currently in SVN this is fixed, in final release one can use any characters for passwords. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
