I have a distant recollection of back in the 80's some youngster climbed into a vm system at Los Alamos and logged onto MAINT with the password CPCMS !! Don't know if this urban legend or actual but I recall it as actual. This must have been an illegal climb through either dial up or early VTAM.
Also last week there was some scuttle about a open zvm system on 67.x.x.x - I'm guessing this was a hercules system - someone logged onto MAINT again - Re XMASTREE: I was working for IBM Canada and helped get the silly thing drained. Now that was an exciting 24 hours!
