symptom
New user profiles created starting with a 'P', are not excluded from password prompting.

symptom
Profile Synchronizer, Maintain Distributed Profile Exclusions  list has a generic entry covering multiple profiles but it is being ignored and profiles are being synchronized.

symptom
In Profile and Password Management, a generic exclusion 'P*' is indicated in 'Option 1 Users to Exclude From Pwd Prompting'.

cause
In Profile and Password Management, if you have a generic exclusion set in any of the user exclusions, and a user ID is created after the generic is entered in the exclusion menu, then the newly created user profile is not included in the generic exclusion. Development is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

fix
The following work-around is useful:

After the new user profile is created, go in to the Exclusion menu, remove the generic exclusion, press Enter to update and then F3 to exit which will update the file.  Go back to the list, add the generic back, press Enter to update and F3 to exit and update the file.
