As a matter of fact I have a BIOS password, as well as a PGP as well as computer password as well as IBM intranet password. When I log into PGP, it also logs me into the system. The BIOS password is intermittent. Sometimes it requires it sometimes not. At the IBM training webinar the presenter suggestd using the same passwords for all. However I have a different password for Lotus Notes because the password rules are different. In any case, next time I change my passwords, I'll coordinate all of them. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
