It means the role has a password and that it most likely has a weak password.

I run it in a testing environment and got about 15 results, then run it in a production database and got about 90 passwords. I am implementing a password verification function now... any suggestions?

People REALLY need to start being careful about their passwords...

I will work on extending the dictionary to include spanish words... ¬¬

ran for four hours on a old, slowaris devel machine.

It reports the following.

T Username Password CR FL STA



R "GLOBAL_AQ_USER_ROLE [GL-EX {GLOBAL} ] GE CR OP GE for GLOBAL/EXTERNAL
CR for cracked passwords
OP means Openo

what are the implications of this. I don't know if I should alter the role or not.
