DW 8.0.2 Novell Server System and FTP log-in and Password encryption

Question

I think I have found a bug. Dreamweaver 8.0.2, Windows XP,
and using Novell server system. In the Novell system using Dynamic
Local User, at each log in to Novell the user is assigned a unique
SSID each and every time. Unfortunately Dreamweaver uses the SSID
for the encryption key for Login and Password for the settings in
an FTP Site. So these saved settings break at each log in to
Novell, and give an error at the launch of Dreamweaver when it
attempts to log into the FTP site set up.
Dreamweaver saves the FTP Site Login and Password settings
at: HKCU\Software\Macromedia\Common\Sites\-Site0\Keychain
TechNote 3491671c does not fix the problem as it only fixes
the settings location - which is fine.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

No. I have installed PHP 5.2.6 on a different machine, and
tested the
XSL Transformation server behavior. It works exactly the same
as in 5.2.5.

I cannot confirm the problem, so there's nothing I can see
for Adobe to
fix. However, the correct channel for reporting bugs is
through the form
at the following address:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Even if a problem can be identified, it's highly unlikely
that Adobe
would issue an updated version of the 8.0.2 hotfix. The
hotfix worked
perfectly with the version of PHP that was current at the
time. Since
then, CS3 has been released, and CS4 is being officially
announced next
Tuesday. If a fix is required (and I don't believe one is),
the normal
policy is to supply it for the current version of
Dreamweaver, not one
that is no longer on sale.
