I understand the restriction on not passing a "username" to login that STARTS with '-', but I do not understand the restriction on it anywhere in the "lusername" string. Would any BAD THINGS happen if I relaxed the restriction to only check for the first character? The thing is, we have a user "star-net"... Please include me in any responses, as I do not subscribe to this list. John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services E-mail: john@starfire.MN.ORG USnail: PO Box 17247, Mpls MN 55417
