That's funny! Switching to plain text passwords to be in compliance withYes - very ironic isn't it? ;-)
a security audit :-) I'm choking on the irony of it all!
Well, this is a private, closed LAN, in an industrial settings (basically a foundry-like facility with computers in offices and control rooms). I don't think there is much concern about employees technically astute enough to use a packet sniffer to capture passwords. Anyway, the local MIS guy at this facility plans to use plaintext passwords until I can give him a better solution, and just not say anything to the corporate headquarters guys about exactly HOW he complied with the policy to restrict login attempts to 3.
Anyway, if you are here in the US - have a great Thanksgiving - I've got to go get my turkey going. If you aren't, have a great day anyway!
