Good morning everyone. :zzz: ;P I have a question. I wrote a dictionary-based password filter and have successfully implemented it on my win2000 machine. However, when I purposely change my password to something I know will NOT be accepted by the filter, i get this message ... "Your password must be at least 6 characters; cannot repeat any of yoru previous 3 passwords; must contain capitals, numerals, or punctuation; and cannot contain your account or full name. Please type a different password. Type a password which meets these requirements in both text boxes." I'm using CTRL-ALT-DEL to change my password. Is there any way at all to customize this notification popup so that I can state my own rules of passwords? Thank-you in advance for you time :) :(( I'm new here, pardon the n00bing

It's all about convenience. Like some of you out there, I'm not that good at alot of things but am quite good at a select few. I tend to buy software that I know I'm going to use alot, and I tend to pirate software that I'm interested in, but don't want to invest $500 on the "chance" that I will make use of it to earn that money back. With that said, piracy is still wrong. When i get a free piece of software from a roomie I determine whether its something that I want and if it is somthing that I will use frequently. If it is, which RARELY happens, I install it to confirm my suspicions and I but it days or weeks later. If it's a piece of software that will not become part of my permanent library, I will pirate it. I figure that my money should only be spent on software that I will use alot.

By the way, and I'm speaking as a part-time linux user. I couldn't give a rats-bum (:-O) whether software or anything I wanted for my linux box was free or not. The whole point of linux is open-source, not free software. I understand a lot of people around here like to use linux is some situations, but those who don't need to show some respect for the other half of coders on this planet I'm new here, pardon the n00bing

What's with you guys and your hatred towards Linux? Did linux kill your children or something? Jees guys, grow up and use the tools that suit your needs. I bet some Linux programmers could write code circles around some of you any day.:mad: :mad: I use both for development, and I'll tell something right now, there are times where I wish i was doing certain projects on/for linux clients/systems.

you could change it from this myFunc(Arr[0], Arr[1], Arr[2],....,Arr[n-1]) to this i=0 ; myFunc(Arr[i], Arr[++i], Arr[++i],....,Arr[++i]) I'm new here, pardon the n00bing

I think either Turing or C. Have him write some simple programs in either language. Don't get him into OO until he has C under his belt :):):) I'm new here, pardon the n00bing

Hey guyz, I'm new here. I'm working on rewriting our company's password procedures. Dictionary base and such. All of the actual code for word lookup and such is done. It's now time for me to figure out a way to implement it in a DLL. I've decide to go the way of this example[^]. I've created the dll in VC but I get a massive list of errors which are the following: Compiling... StdAfx.cpp Compiling... beta.cpp H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(39) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '__stdcall' H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(39) : error C2501: 'NTSTATUS' : missing storage-class or type specifiers H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(41) : error C2065: 'PUNICODE_STRING' : undeclared identifier H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(41) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'UserName' H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(41) : warning C4229: anachronism used : modifiers on data are ignored H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(41) : error C2501: 'PasswordChangeNotify' : missing storage-class or type specifiers H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(44) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(64) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{' H:\code_project\beta\beta.cpp(64) : error C2447: missing function header (old-style formal list?)
