Linda:
I had just done an vmIPO install and then looked at the resources
defined to IBMCE (at the location - were the same as what comes with
the IPO). I found a manager and suggested that they change the
default passwords for all the special ID's. We crossed paths months
later at another party and he told me that the passwords had been
changed and the people who did the install were asked to change all
psswords.

Hi Ed,
In those days, our IBM folks could get a bit testy if their (the
default IBM ids) didn't work - with the default passwords. So,
those ids were limited as to where they could be logged on. In
those days, no remote access. Inside, id verified, escorted,
watched, etc.

Back in the 80's (early if I remember correctly. I was at a
Christmas party in an office and I noticed a VM logo on on of the
screens.
I tried logging on as IBMCE to VM and used the vanilla password
that comes with VM IPO. It worked so everyone don't go patting
themselves on the back.

That is very sad. Poor fellow.
For others, in other circumstances, sometimes things are well
hidden even though they appear to be in plain sight. One
particular system that I often had to log on to, I had written
the password on a stickie posted to the front edge of my
monitor. Or so folks thought. ;). And it really was the password
- or would be with the secret offsets applied. That formula was
not posted or shared anywhere, of course.
