Whilst I accept your position on security, It has always been acceptable in Linux to use characters in passwords. My point was that in LXDE RC that was accepted during installation and logging in but in the final version it allowed characters for installing but the login screen refused to accept them. I merely wondered if the maintainer was aware of this or not, hence the report. Otherwise this is my favourite version so far as it meets the needs of my old system perfectly. Thanks to you and the team once more
