If you mean the "you should register, because we'll be pulling free access soon" page, "random" appears to mean "there's no cookie on the computer which says the person has been harassed recently". At least, that's the best pattern I've come up with. I haven't seen any "go away, you have no password" pages yet. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
