I like this bit: "Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1." It's good to see that MS obviously do increase their security precautions with each service pack. That extra 1625 chars provides for a least a few trillion more combinations (in fact the number has so large I can't figure out what it should be called). -- Dylan Reeve - dylan(a)wibble.net It's just not cricket. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
