This is II reminder. The Saturday (18 Feb 2006) Build for GlassFish will
have the changes that will reject any password that was provided on
command line in clear.
If you are used to the promoted GlassFish builds from
glassfish.dev.java.net, promoted build b38 will have these changes.
Let me know if you see any problems.
Regards,
Kedar
