That's a very good suggestion on the environment variables ISC_USER
and ISC_Password cause they default password masterkey has been
changed to something else. And the startup script is a good place to
check cause the server has a linux OS. The answer may very well be
hidden away in a perl script. I will look in to this definitely

Thanks guys
