Check that RVARY password is regularly changed by administrator

In order to keep systems secure and avoid static unchanged password for RVARY commands it would be nice if we could audit the fact when RVARY password was last changed. In past it was visible that hash in RCVT changed, for security reasons is no longer there, perhaps you could place to RCVT, or SETROPTS LIST timestamp of last change? This way we could keep track on fact that not only initial one was changed but also administrator take care to regularly update it.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. We suggest using SMF records to determine when the RVARY passwords are changed via the SETROPTS command.
