One of my favorite requests was for a vendor doing a conversion. He
wanted all the passwords for user accounts in RACF. After being told
three times that it was encrypted and not obtainable he went away muttering.
---------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------
I would have sent his bleeding body back to the vendor in a garbage bag,
with a demand for someone who knew what he was doing. Asking for
passwords is ludicrous and he should have learned that early in his
training (if he had any!) And if the vendor can't make the cut-over
without breaching security, then it's time to find a new vendor!
