    Hey DM,

    To add to your loooong list of features (unless its there and I havent seen
    it ;)

    When I login, as I'm sysop I'm also prompted for the sysop password. Anyway that can be "not asked during login".

    I've noticed if I'm idle for a period of time, and try to do a sysop function, I'm re-asked to enter the sysop password to do it (which I think is great) - so it would be great, if I can login with just user/password and only be prompted for the sysop password if I do something sysopy.

    (And thus, I'm treated as a normal user - at that level until I attempt to do something that needs the sysop password.)

    And for clarification, other users should never have the opportunity to be prompted for the sysop password, unless they are configured as one...

    I gotcha. I'll put it in the todo list to think about.

    why dont you blank out both your sysop and your user account 1 password.

    you're just on the internet, it's perfectly safe.
