Facter has to do something. Otherwise he'll get flooded with even more lost
account problems. :\ I say loose the ini file and figure something else out. Bury it deep in the registry. What do other services do for password protection? Look at what they do, the problems they're having with their methods, and go from there. SW Chris [View Quote] wingJul 10, 2001, 6:36pm
PW remembering functions aren't as bad as you're making them out to be. Really, do you punch in your password every time you post
here? They're ideal for low security stations (ie non-WinNT computers) because people that use those are generally idiots or just plain nuts. You can tell a lot about a person just by their Windows logon. If it's Win9x with no pass, they're total wanks. If it's Win9x with a pass, they have some security requirements and most likely run pointless firewalls and virus scanners. If it's WinNT without a pass, they have problems and run firewalls and virus scanners. WinNT with a pass can be any combination of the above :) Dual boots are either learnin Linux or power users. PC's with 3 or more operating systems on seperate hard drives (Not partitions) are flaming nuts that can adapt their computer to any situation on a moment's notice, don't run firewalls or virus scanners because they're too smart to put themselves in the line of fire and are insomniacs 90% of the time.
