Re: Try it out...

Just tried it.  To be honest, I don't care much for the format of the
page.  The colors are IMHO ugly, and the fields should line up better.
Personally I prefer something like:

Description of field:
  [Field .....................]

It's a taste thing, and few people say I have great taste, so take it with
a grain of salt.  Of course, right now, having it work is the most
important thing.

This is header info from the email it sent me:

Date: 24 Feb 1999 01:01:30 -0000
From: root@linuxkb.org
To: aturner@linuxkb.org
Subject: Linux Knowledge Base password

Simple questions:

1)  Why is the time zone 8 hours off?

2)  Why is this script being run as root -or- why are you forging the
From: field to be root?  This script should not, need not, execute as
root.  And we don't want root forged, since stupid people hit reply.
webmaster@linuxkb.org is probably a good choice.  

Also, if an error is generated, an email should not be sent.  IFF (if and
only if) all the fields check out OK, should an email be sent and the DB
updated.

I assume that there's a nice "Thank you, now go check your email for your
password" page after a successful submisssion.

Anyways, great job- you're the first of us to have anything even close to
working!
