[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You cannot retrieve a password, but you can do things to intercept it on
the way.

All -

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that you _cannot_
retrieve the password for an AS/400 - iSeries - System i user profile.  My
client's security department wants us to change our password "reset"
program to retrieve the user's password if they indicate *SAME, and change
it to lower case.  As far as I know, this is not possible...

Steve
