Huh?  How could it do this when the passwords are never stored in the
clear?  I just changed my password on VGR.BRL.MIL to the same one that
I was already using, and it let me.  The same password is also used for
two other accounts that I know of.

I think your memory is failing you in your old age, Ron..
