Subject: RE: Fast User Switching blocks user accounts [cb]
[...] "Fast User Switching is a feature that's designed primarily for
home users.
One thing that Fast User Switching does is to check local accounts for
blank
passwords to determine if a prompt should be provided for a particular
user or not.
Users who have elected to maintain blank passwords are not shown the
prompt
for their account when they switch accounts. Because of this, if
account lockouts
are enabled in conjunction with Fast User Switching, it is possible
for this
feature to inadvertently lockout accounts.
If you want to enable the account lockout feature, it's recommended
that you
not use the Fast User Switching feature.
I hope this is helpful in clarifying what you are seeing.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns." [...]
