Hallo Dirk,

Any workstation running an ADSM schedule can prevent ANY OS command from
being executed by entering (for UNIX in the dsm.sys file) either a
"PREschedulecmd" or "POSTschedulecmd" with either no command
or a null string.  The intent here is to give the administrator a capability
but allow the workstation owner to disallow it.

Also, during a sign on and authentication between the client and
the server NOT even an encrypted password is passed over the
communciation network.
