You're correct. I tried to avoid changes to the PROFILE EXEC because I fear it will be on each of the servers and they may have the 191 R/W (but we already discussed options to make the guest detach that disk). One reason you find this kind of things in programs is when the userid or mini disk address is determined by some programmed logic. Mini disk passwords are a pain in that situation and don't really provide any security because the link is issued in the user virtual machine. One of my peers was very proud of his program that scrambled the password in the code (so you could not see it when you browse the module). He was pretty shocked when I did a trace on the DIAG 08 to see the password... :-) Rob
