Trusted AS/400s -- MIDRANGE-L

Using the WRKCFGL command, it is my understanding that you can create
a trusted, or secure, connection between two AS/400s.  I do not know
all the reasons one may do this, but one is to allow passthru sessions
without requiring a logon to the remote AS/400.  For example, if I log
on to AS/400 ABC with user SMITH, then I can automatically logon as
user SMITH to the remote AS/400 XYZ.

Does anyone see security risks here?
