Re: Display User Password?

["Keith Carpenter" <CarpCon@xxxxxxx>]

Checking with vendors for 128 byte password support is well advised.   Don't
assume they do.  Maybe a software upgrade is necessary.

As far as dropping Win98/lanman password support, you might check with your
windows network admin.  They should be able to tell you whether they have to
carry this legacy support.  As far as the AS400 is concerned, it's the Win98
PCs using windows netserver (IFS file server).  CA, telnet/ftp, etc. would
not use this authentication.
