Yeah. Maybe a good solution would be to correlate the random password with
removing the banner.


I would be pretty happy if in order to disable the banner user(s) would
have to be securely configured by the deployment manager - essentially
converting the developement friendly (development only) SAM with password
generated and shown in the logs into a low-grade production SAM by the fact
of configure users/password in a secure way.

Now, the question is what it mean for the confugurationto to be 'secure'.
