dear list. I have search in various places, but cannot find the answer to these two, even though it sounds like very small things... first thing: i've just setup suse 9.1, ftp install. I've added some users, and and somehow, every morning when i try to logon with my user id, it says: password has expired, and i have to change it. (expiration date is set to somewhere in 2010... and yes, system time is current) (and it happened every morning for a week now) Could it have something to do with passwords being checked every night, and the system finding my password too weak? This is just a test setup, don't want to have difficult passwords in a test setup... And the other question: does anyone know the correct settings in putty to see nice lines in BOTH yast AND midnight commander? I can only get one of these two to work at the same time, can't find a setting that works for both of them. Searched internet, but only see people asking this same question... utf-8 works nicely for mc, for with yast i get characters like: qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq instead of horizontal line any clues? yours, mourik jan
