Well Bill, you obviously didn't get the question or you wouldn't have 
responded with what might be considered a flame.  The question was direct 
to the point.  The user wanted to know a way to bypass the login prompt 
and log the user in.  I supplied one of many possible answers.  I also 
warned that this was a 'very' insecure way to do business.  It is not, 
however, dangerous as you seem to think.  It does not cause data to be 
eradicated or hardware to fry.  It simply disables the security that has 
been issued on the network.  Any idiot that knows DOS could have figured 
out how to do this given a little time. I'm not releasing some top secret 
weapon that is going to destroy companies by granting access to their 
secret files.  I'm just stating the obvious.  It's up to the users and 
administrators to make sure that company policy (and thats all it is) is 
not violated.  Not my problem!
