I remember some guy a few years ago who was so proud that he could
connect to his AS/400 from home over the internet... He even published
his systems IP address so others could see his signon screen... Well I
took a look at his signon screen... and ... just for the heck of it
tried logging in as QSECOFR / QSECOFR ... It was dumbfounded when I got
a command screen!!!!

He was lucky it was me and not someone with a mean streak... 

I called him up and told him he might want to change his default
passwords!

Unbelievable!
