the best piece of advice I have seen is this one: If you?re the systems programmer for the system, and you don?t know what the account is used for, then one very sure way to find out would be to change the password and see who runs into your office. No amount of research can replace a good, well placed denial of service.
Something will break or someone will yell - either way you will know. - and change the password to NOLOG - and change the passwords to the MDISK also good luck Bill Munson VM System Programmer 201-418-7588 "Edward M.
