    Hi folks,
    
    rcf is changing their password policy and we all have to change our
    passwords within the next month. The reason for going to >=16
    character passwords is that they do not have to expire after 6
    months. Rules about special characters are gone - just come up with
    a nice (>=16 char) sentence. This does not affect the webmail
    password (it uses dual authentication which saves us there). The
    explanation how to change passwords is here:
    
    https://www.racf.bnl.gov/docs/authentication/passwords
    
    It is a simple web page which asks for your old password and the new
    one. Please do this asap,
    
    Chris
