Yes, we've fixed this on the trunk, but we didn't fix it in 3.0. I guess I wasn't aware that the situation could happen on the 3.0 branch, but I suppose we'll want to backport the fix for 3.0.1.

Never thought I would learn something in Bugzilla to lpsolit.
In editusers.cgi?action=edit&userid=..., you can reset a user's password by editing the field "password" (tip: Enter new password to change).

Nice, eh ;-).

The Bugzilla 3.0 branch is now locked to security bugs and dataloss fixes only. This bug doesn't fit into one of these two categories and is retargetted to 3.2 as part of a mass-change. To catch bugmails related to this mass-change, use lts081207 in your email client filter.

Bugzilla 3.2 is restricted to security bugs only. Moreover, this bug is either assigned to nobody or got no traction for several months now. Rather than retargetting it at each new release, I'm clearing the target milestone and the bug will be retargetted to some sensible release when someone starts fixing this bug for real (Bugzilla 3.8 more likely).

Bugzilla 3.0 is EOL, so marking it as a dupe of the bug which fixed the problem in 3.2.
