[pmwiki-users] detecting default password changed

[adam overton]

hi peter
thanks for the tip!
i'll look into this...

however - i was just fiddling around and maybe found a [suspiciously]  
super-easy way to check...
i noticed that when a user creates a new group, the group attributes  
page doesn't exist yet -- it's only created once the user goes to  
change the password and clicks 'save'...
so i'm guessing (:if exists Group.GroupAttributes ... should work...

that almost seems too easy though... anyone foresee any problems with  
that (besides of course if someone goes to change a password, and  
just types in the default pw)?

thanks,
adam
