Re: exercise for the day

Niall,
where exactly can I find the drop down list you are referring to?

In our global organization many many people have access to metalink and it turns out to be virtually impossible to educate all our staff not to enter production oracle passwords in SR's or forum contributions. We even had cases where passwords got removed from a SR but then suddenly popped up again after an update of the support analyst.
