It would be interesting and perhaps usefull for all of us to speculate on how
a HP-3000 system could be compromised.  A while ago I posted a message about
encrypted passwords.  Correct me if I am wrong but MPE/iX does NOT store
passwords in an encrypted format so access to a drive formerly used as LDEV 1
and not reformatted in any way equals potential access to all passwords...?

I'm not suggesting that anyone is trying to do this but remembering to
somehow reformat drives after they have been replaced by newer/bigger/better
drives is a good idea and it would help to have easy way to do this.
