I do use andrew.niemantsverdriet as a username. I agree it is quite long. As you can see my e-mail address is my first name only, so I am backwards I guess. Although I do have an email alias setup for andrew.niemantsverdriet. My problem (and two of my junior admins) is that when the account name field is already filled in with wrong information it is easy to overlook to change especially when doing more than one account. Not a huge issue but a pain in the butt when the error is made because the use has to come see us. Where is the code is this logic located? I might customize our version until we can figure something better out. -- _ /-\ ndrew Niemantsverdriet Academic Computing (406) 238-7360 Rocky Mountain College 1511 Poly Dr. Billings MT, 59102 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Lam-public mailing list Lam-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lam-public
