Hi Sybrand,
You have confirmed what we thought. Scotland Yard will indeed have to be called in :o)
Regards,
Norman.
PS. My sig doesn't have the 'rehards' or the 'regrads' on it, I have dyslexic fingers when I type that word. I very rarely get it right, until after I hit the send button :o(

Hi Norman,
You can not prevent users from changing their own password, as you don't need to have alter user privilege for this. Apparently the purpretator does know the current password. Time to call in Scotland Yard, I guess.
BTW you might want to change your sig.
The 'rehards' is quite funny and evidently part of it.
Cheers
