I think that's reasonable. How to go about changing the password still seems a bit un-obvious, as I'm not sure I would think to click in a disabled box; but I suppose it's hard to argue with an OS X precedent. :-) I'm also okay with an arbitrary number of asterisks representing the password. But the string of asterisks should only be present if a password is actually set. -- Configure bugmail: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
