No, it's for accessing account on smtp server. Still, I don't think confirmation is wrong here: when you don't see what you type, it's better to confirm it imho.

Why not confirm password during WebYast first login? They are both using a password to access account other than set a password. Right? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Because the user name password in this plugin has nothing to do with the user name and password entered on first login, neither with the administrator password.

This one is the account used to access remote SMTP server, used for sending mails.

I just take system account as an example... Well, let's say it more directly. I don't see outlook, kmail or evolution need to input twice password in order to access STMP/POP server. So we don't need either. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So after logging or in kmail you get error wrong password. But there you don't get such warning until you need it. I think that correct solution is that mail settings do test login to remote smtp server and confirm that user type correct informations. But I think it is too late for that feature, so it is better to ensure, that provided password is one which user want to use. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
