I certainly like this. Honestly, I'd also like the warning when doing a 'create role'/'alter role' that sets/changes the pw on an account that doesn't have 'rolcanlogin'. Much better to have me notice that I goof'd the command and fix it before telling the user 'go ahead and log in' than to have the user complain that it's not working. :) Just my 2c. Thanks, Stephen
