I'm setting up a Geeklog site, and a user just discovered that passwords with apostrophes in them don't work.

Is there a list somewhere of what is and isn't allowed in Geeklog passwords?

Also, has anyone written anything that allows a Geeklog admin to define and enforce a password policy?

Thanks!

Yeah, that's a known bug. The fix is quite simple, though.

You should actually be able to use pretty much any character, as long as it survives the POST somehow.

bye, Dirk

OK, good to know. I'm running v1.93 of users.php; the fix you referred to patches from 1.95 to 1.96, and it looks like the relevant code also changed between 1.93 and 1.95. Is there anyplace I can go to find file versions that are newer than those shipped with 1.3.11? I spent a little time poking around geeklog.net and didn't find it.

Thanks again!
