Well, we are in DOS, not Unix.... I don't see clearly the advantages of looking into an variable for getting the users/passwords list...

FD Password do exactly the same thing you told. It create a batch file in his own directory called "LASTUSER.BAT". By the way, the install.bat batch add to AUTOEXEC the two following lines: C:\PASSWORD\PASSWORD.EXE /login CALL C:\PASSWORD\LASTUSER.BAT So if you installed FD Password, you have after each boots an environment variable "USER" with your login. With that you can easily do various configurations for each user ;-) > Also, good > thing would be ability to ask PASSWORD to run some other password programs > after login and automatically enter login and password (if I have local and > NetWare/SMB login/password the same, I don't want to enter password twice). No. It's basically impossible, as for security reasons FD Password don't stores the user's password anywhere, it just saves its checksum with a SDBM hash and then works only on the stored checksums. Maybe you should set on NetWare/SMB login=password and then use the USER variable? Thanks for the interest about FD Password :) Fox ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
