Re: [U2] major (?) @var security hole

I agree here with Ray and Brian that this is not a bug.   This particular 
functionality was added into universe to support the IAM mechanism, which 
allows modification of the login name (thanks Prime for that one).   I know 
of numerous universe sites that make use of this login-name morphing 
feature and changing this to read-only would be disasterous.

Just my $.02

It's not really a bug - they even supply a command (IAM) for changing the 
logical account name.  This is used by some software vendors who use the 
(Prime-style) CATALOG verb and get their routines prefixed with the vendor 
name.  For example:
IAM vendor
CATALOG BP SUBR42
*vendor*SUBR42 cataloged.
