Hi *SMers,
  a user brought the following to attention:
2 nodes, called XVS009 & XVS028, had their individual initial passwords to
start with.
BOTH nodes changed the password via the GUI-interface to something else.
AFTER that change, node XVS009 still can do a "LOGIN" to XVS028 using the
initial startup-password and can e.g. restore files from XVS028.

Big Question: Is this a "KNOWN" misbehaviour or "wanted feature" ?
