RE: Writing to a Windows server instead of to the IFS

I don't know the answer to 1), but i don't see 2) being worse than
storing an easily reversible LM hash (which, I believe, is controlled by
QPWDLVL). And even NTLM hashes aren't all that secure.

When the user logs on, the password could be cached in memory, without
saving it anywhere.

Two reasons:

1) QNTC works from batch, no?
2) Wasn't there a PTF to remove the password from a memory space in the
subsystem a number of years ago. Storing the plaintext password is a big
no-no.
