[Coursework-help] Re: User Registration

[Ian B. <ie...@tf...>]

Its quite possible that this is the right thing to do, since the 
orriginal 2.5 code from stanford would have integrated to their SUID 
system and not the password mechanism in the Postgres version. I'll get 
one of the developers to check the imact of this and get it into the CVS 
version.
