RE: Changing passwords issue

Mike, is something trying to access a share through the network with that
profile?  We've had users disable their accounts by trying to recconect
shared drives at startup with an old password.  I would assume that any such
action would be logged in the audit journal, tho.

Ed,

This is really weird.  We had the audit values set as you mentioned in the
email.  I looked through the CP records.  There was nothing except the
entries for the profile being disabled when I tried to sign on.  Now,
another developer ran into the same problem.  I checked the journal entries
again and did not see anything related to the CP entries and his profile.  I
looked through all of the entries and I am not able to find anything
relating to either his or my user profile.

This has occurred with three different user profiles.

Do you have any other recommendations to audit changes to the user profiles?

Thanks

Mike
