manually create passwords? 9.5

[Rick Barter]

Lawrence,

I'm in the middle of a week-long training session on using Manila for  
University of Maine students on Umaine's manila server.

The new INABILITY to manually assign passwords is proving to be a  
major problem. With many schools not giving email accounts to  
students, and with the laws governing contact information NOT being  
available on the web, this inability to assign passwords makes the  
process of adding students as editors is very cumbersome.

The work-around you suggested is not a viable option because of  
limited direct access to the actual Manila server.

If restoring ability to manually add passwords when adding a user  
could become a priority, it would make a number of public school  
teachers/Umaine Students very happy.

Thanks,

Rick
