This is the very reason --pwfile was added. It's not just a win32 fix, it's a "any packager that needs to run without interactivity" fix. Yes, you can stick a blank password in there, but again, this is a choice and not a default in that case. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
