Massimiliano Bariola	Tuesday 13 December 2005 11:07:39 am Hi Paul, I found I need to change it also in ezuser.php and kernel/user/password.php . I also submitted an enhancement suggestion for future versions, so as not to hack the kernel. thanks!
Paul Forsyth	Tuesday 13 December 2005 11:46:53 am Yes, i see it in those places now. I also agree this enhancement should be in the kernel. Its not only a useful feature but having 'strlen ($password < 3)' in three locations in the code shouldnt happen. Paul
