Thats right. But it has to be explained and emphasized. When the teacher 
don't know that, she would forget to save the file, or take care of the 
password in a thoughtfull way. This is bad becaus it's very easy to 
forget to print out, or save the password in a file. 

The short term soulution could be to explain and emphasize what the 
ICT-teacher should do. Explain it with a message that says what to do, 
and that the username will be forgotten at once the sys-admin leave 
that page ... Say that its for securtity reasons, and it's ment to be 
"fire and forget" :-)

In the long term wiev it should be a button that gave the user a 
posibilty to save the users and their password on a plain-text-file. 
Thats because this cind of functions shuld happen inside the 
application in webmin, not in the browser (long story connected to 
gui-design etc.).
