Yes, I usually have the ISC_PASSWORD variable set too, so that may well be the
case.

But I am not sure that Ross has the ISC_PASSWORD var set because he observes
this happening on every workstation. I have made the (reasonable) assumption
that the ISC_USER/ISC_PASSWORD combination would not be set everywhere.
Perhaps Ross could confirm whether these vars are set.
