Yes to your point. But every time I read the phrase "setting some security data/passwords to the default value" I am feeling uneasy. The notion of 'default passwords' is scary and a knob to restore default passwords even more so. Perhaps the text should say instead 'removing security credentials and restoring default security settings'. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <https://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
