That's
just it. There is no method to simply reset the password - even as
administrator, you have to go to the "Objects" view, and set a field value.
I guess I could try it on a clean install though to confirm similar issue
exists on clean.

Hi,
One small thing I notice is hat you have to go the the objects for
resetting
a user's password (ie, when you're not
the user and you're changing it
for
them). Shouldn't this have an automatic
temporary-password script behind
it?
Why? If the rights are correctly set, then only administrators should be
able to change a user's
password (except the user himself). If you're afraid that someone else
could change a password he
shouldn't be able to change, then either you didn't set the correct rights,
or you made an admin
somebody you don't trust.
Also, when setting a user's password manually
through the objects, I get
a
big nasty database error.. followed by general
odd behavior even if I
recreate the account. Is that expected?
No, that should never happen, and I've never seen it. Can you give us the
exception?
