Absolutely this is a security risk!   I would never give OPERATOR DEVMAINT
ability - OPERATOR should have the ability to do particular things and query
particular things -- but not things like see passwords or the get ability to
get to anything they want (e.g. DEF MDISK).   If I was an auditor - you'd be
in big trouble, buddy ;-)   And for not having an ESM maintain your
passwords in an encrypted and unqueryable fashion -- double trouble..
