This is something that should be configurable to site requirements short of the need for an exit. But I suspect that most sites will implement the exit at the behest of security wonks who insist that each password (phrase) must contain majuscule, minuscule, numeric, at least one vowel with an umlaut, and at least one ligature. Correct horse battery staple. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
