Well, it could be argued that the Administrators of the SQL Server in
question have left it open. They could have setup the SQL Server to use NT
authentication only, thus preventing the display of userID and password (in
asterisks) in any components, including DTS packages authored by their
users. Of course this can present legacy issues and is likely why they opted
not to restrict it (despite it being strongly recommended by MS.)
