I did actually start considering that one as well. It could be a trick 
here, yes.

And I just did a check in RSX. Please, people, do not do this in 
general. But yes, I could turn off another node by just issuing that 
command. I wonder if I shouldn't maybe do something about that...

DECnet and security? Not in the same sentence...
