Ash: Certainly it's a good thing -- until the client asks for another password. At this point, I have four logon and password combinations to use. I can tell the client if they use one of those, then they can login. However if they want their own, then I have no idea of what the algorithm was/is and thus no way of generating a new combination for them. You see, the problem here is not that I can't set up an authorization scheme -- I can do that easily enough. The problem is that I don't know how the one currently in place on my client's server works in generating passwords. If I knew that, then I could generate the password myself.
