-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Michael,
I agree with Murda, losing dial-up passwords is not a normal behavior and setting passwords using plain text scripts is not a good practice and it doesn't solve the problem at the root. It may be that something (or someone) is using the machines to connect to a different ISP and then it tries to revert all the settings but the password. There are plenty of dialers in the wild and the risk of your clients connecting to an ISP overseas during the night is not so remote. If the dial up accounts are used to connect to your server rather than the Internet I would try to look for traces of Internet use, checking the browser's cache, history, logs, etc. Beside the malware changing the dial-up settings, the passwords (and all the others stored in the user account) may be lost because someone is resetting the user's password. Just my two cents, Paolo. Murda Mcloud wrote: > > I'm glad you found a workaround but I'd be worried that some kind of spyware > or similar may have got on your machine.
