I think that practise of RCF posting the user with "weak" passwords is almost as big a security risk as the actual "weak" passwords, since it effectively opens a window for potential crackers (not hackers, crackers!). I'd like to urge our representive at RCF to get them to change practise and instead notify people directly, either via email or snail-mail. It's rather stunning that the paranoid RCF has such an blatenly insecure practise. Yours, Christian Holm Christensen ------------------------------------------- Address: Sankt Hansgade 23, 1. th.
