I've seen some companies that use Security/3000 without MPE passwords.  I
never liked this solution.  There are times, like during a backup, when the
logon UDC may not run and the user is dropped right into the CI.  :-(

In issues of security, multiple layers are good.  This statement is not
contradiction to what Gavin is saying as I'm sure he would agree that that
it is better to have multiple barriers.  I'm sure the SAFE system does not
store its password in a manner that allows it to be retrieved like MPE.
Double :-(
