Peter, I didn't realize you would get so many messages complaining
about your post to firewalls concerning the request-for-passwd-entry.
I for one am glad you posted it.  Perhaps it had nothing specifically
to do with firewalls, but it was a jolt to the imagination.  Hopefully,
few people will be duped by such a request, but it only takes one
to get your security compromised.  Just the same, my
system admin group will probably send out a company-wide email
cautioning against something like this.

Thanks for the post.
