PS: This validation applies only to automatic installation shipments. It is NOT required if AUTO=NO was specified or if it was forced by the local installation exit. Someone that can fake my userid can send you stuff 'from' me in your reader anyway, with a piece of mail from me explaining how to install the thing, so I see no reason to validate those manual shipment distributions with a password that YOU would have to provide in order to get the thing transferred to YOUR reader! :-)
