Hi Amy! That sort of information is generally considered to be a security violation. If someone is probing your system, being told that they got the ID right and all they have left is to figure out the password is a big help. I'm afraid that unhelpful messages are best for unverified clients.

I guess my vote would be to keep them in the system after they graduated, with some sort of flag. Then, after they successfully authenticate themselves, you can give them all the helpful messages you want. Otherwise, unauthenticated users should get as little information as possible. Ralph
