conrimation status of a scarab user

Hi guys,

maybe a silly question, but what  is the confirmation code good for? 
When I add a new user it is set to confirmed at once.

After user creation in ManageUser.doAdduser the following line appears:

ScarabUserImpl.confirmUser(register.get("UserName").toString());

which sets the user to confirmed.

Is there something wrong?

cheers
Johannes
