I would love it if this could be done Julie. I would almost swear it was an 
enhancement III talked about several years ago but then it disappeared in 
the final list. Maybe it was just on the IUG enhancement list for voting. 
It is just good password practice to change it on a regular basis. Now all 
we can do is nag. I think we managed to convince a lot of our staff members 
to change their password back in 1998 (we came up in 1992) but most haven't 
since then. When you think of the information about people that a hacker 
could find out if they were to acquire the right password (those of someone 
who could view patron records for instance), not to mention the havoc they 
could wreak in the catalog, it seems more important.
