Hey Guys,

     Just ran into an interesting situation.  I was logging onto a
friend of 
mines Appleshare drive when I typed my password wrong.  Sure enough, it
logged
me in. Example:

My PW: Liason
Typed: Liasoo

Guess there's a bug in the password encryption algorithm...

Have fun Apple!

P.S. That's not actually my PW, but the last two characters are the
same...

(Just figured I'd get thirty billion people telling me not to put pws on
the net...)
