I think one of the biggest problems is that people have this belief that
the user id's and passwords between IBM i and Windows should not match.
That it increases security if they do not match. Some are under the
belief that Windows is this huge security hole.
My argument is that this drastically increases complexity and really does
not increase security. What you end up doing is creating local profiles
with passwords which never change and other things which are a gross
security violation. Basically, what you think is increasing security is
actually DECREASING security.

That and IBM i, as shipped, is not much more secure.

Of course, you have to look at the hex data at the left to get the correct
case

Basically any fool with a sniffer can get that data.
