9472.0. "Password problem?" by DEKVC::YONGJOONCHOI () Fri Apr 11 1997 03:26

    
    Hi!
    
    As we known,  must use  more  than one upper case  to setup password except
    in case of all number and the password is minium 5 digits.
    Then, Customer want to use all lower case and just 5 digits.
    
    Customer said the problem of security was trifling.
    
    thanks

	The base system security will accept an all lower case
	password if you type it often enough.  It might also
	accept shorter passwords, but I tend not be *that*
	insecure...

    Unless you have set up Enhanced Security, your system is
    running Base Security.  If you want to know more about setting
    up security features on a system you should read the Security
    manual.
    
    All that .1 is saying is just keep entering the desired password 
    over and over, the system may eventually accept it.
