The clue left here is: AUTOLOG VAUTOLG1 VOP1 VMAINT
That says that the userids "AUTOLOG VAUTOLG1 VOP1 VMAINT" can AUTOLOG SERVICE without a password. Google did not turn up anything for VAUTOLG1, and the one VMAINT was in a Domino manual and not obviously applicable. Was there anything else on the 191 disk beside the PROFILE EXEC? Does the "PRGRAMLY" in the LOGONBY look familiar? Are there directory entries for VAUTOLG1, VOP1, or VMAINT?
