I sniffed the thing, and it doesn't look like the password is used at all
during any of the transactions -- a .rhosts file gets installed in the
sam_exec home dir

right. which is exactly why sam_exec need not even exist....
It is a stupid hacky concept that they held onto for some reason.
Just so you all know... I have had no response from hp re: sam_exec.
Perhaps if someone were to login to www.hp.com as such and
edit serverroot/index.html to post a "request" :).
