Re: V5R1 DST passwords

From my perspective, this should be fully under the owner's control, as it
is in OS/400.

How can we participate in this new age of computing with
factory passwords & non-expiring passwords. I have and
continue to try and educate network techs on the danger of
any default or well-known passwords. We continue to make
fun of Microcrash's weekly list Cert advisories (as well as
Linux). There is no defense for factory passwords. We claim
the be more secure than any other business server, out of the
box. Can't have it both ways.
