I'll never forget back several years ago when I walked into the head of 
accounting for a municipality in the SE, walked up to her terminal, created 
my own USRPRF on the fly from a signon screen and in 4 minutes was playing 
in her payroll and G/L....I think they were at seclvl(10) or lower...forget 
back then...  The problem here was that their business pudnah had set it up 
that way and told them to leave it alone so that they could dial in 
easily...or some other stupid stuff...  Well, they changed a few things the 
next day...  Not sure if they're still with the same pudnah... :)

could achieve security through obscurity until I pointed out how
vulnerable they were.
