Well, requiring the DST password and the OS/400 passwords to match sounds
like a problem, but passwords in DST are still a good thing - there were too
many vendor shenanigans before IBM implemented this.  Now, if you are
managing DST passwords well you don't have to worry about a vendor coming in
and re-arranging your system without your consent.
