When are ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD exactly applied.

[Mark Rotteveel]

Looking at the use of ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD, through
`void setLogin(ClumpletWriter& dpb, bool spbFlag)` in yvalve/utl.cpp,
which is called from yvalve/why.cpp, am I correct in assuming that this
can have affect on client *and* server?

That is, if set on client, it will be populated from the client, but if
the client did not populate username or password before sending to the
server, then when the yvalve of the server receives it, it will populate
the missing values with the values as they are set server-side?

It was initial behaviour of IB6. Not too dangerous bug - why server's env can contain mentioned vars? Anyway it was fixed ling ago. Do not remember where is a check for server mode but it's definitely present.

I guess that is what the check for isc_dpb/spb_address_path is for,
right? It might deserve a comment to that effect :)
