This prevents grabbing plain-text passwords from that dialog. That is why the number of asterisks is fixed and does not really matter. But changing passwords should work as usual. -- With Best Wishes, Constantin _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
