Re: Exit programs...

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Exit points are points in a program that an application developer has 
realized that they may not have thought of everything so they created 
the exit point.  For example, IBM has many interesting security ideas 
in the CHGPWD command.  However, they realized they may not have thought 
of everything so they added the system value QPWDVLDPGM.  We've taken 
advantage of this to propagate passwords to remote machines.  Other exit 
points are the ones listed under WRKREGINF.
