Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: AS400 Object

Maybe I'm dense (probably so) but if the user calling this function has an
IBM i profile and is creating a new one, then the user calling the function
should be able to provide a valid password the API could validate.  The
Java Project as I quickly looked at it, stores and retrieves environment
variables.  Cool, yes, but to store a password that enables one to create
other user profiles, I wonder about the wisdom of that .
