I'm planning on implementing the password=generate option in the
32-Bit client for the next PTF.

The encrypted password will be stored in the registry and will need
to be interactively entered only once.

The first time the password is entered interactively it will be stored
encrypted in the registry.

After this the password will no longer need to be specified as long
as Password=Generate is specified and the password isn't changed
on the server.

If the password changes on the server, the client will again prompt for
it and then regenerate it into the registry.

If the password expires a random one will automatically be generated
and stored in the registry.

This will  eliminate the necessity of passing in the clear text password
as a command line parameter.

I'm doing this primarily for the new NT client scheduler service but it
will also work on Win95.

Hope this will help in the future ....
