RE: Upgrading to Trend's 2.6

According to the readme for the hotfix:

Apply this hotfix only if you are working in conjunction with the Trend 
Micro's product support group on an issue: 

- Pupdate task crashes inside download process on AS400

- Pupdate task download failed because entries inside "server.ini" could 
not 
read properly

Also, it is supposed to correct any problems with the Active Update (this 
runs under pupdate anyway).

I don't have my QNOTES set to *ALLOBJ - here's an email I sent to trend on 
that:

I had already made QNOTES *SECOFR. From my own iSeries experience and 
comments of others in the iSeries community, TrendMicro has an extremely 
flawed implementation of IFS and iSeries security with this latest 
release.

Anyway, I also have previously added QSECOFR with all authority to IFS 
folders. This should not have to be since QSECOFR has *ALLOBJ special 
authority, but I did that per other instructions in technotes at your 
website.

For my IFS folder structure, QNOTES is the owner AND QSECOFR is listed as 
a profile with all access rights to ALL FILES in the entire directory 
structure from the root on down.

As stated earlier, I have already changed the QNOTES profile in the past 
to be *SECOFR against my better judgement. Before I grant that profile 
*ALLOBJ authority I will have to get you to conference me in a phone call 
with someone at Lotus support and they tell me that I should change that 
profile. This is an IBM/Lotus supplied profile and I don't want to change 
it any further. It isn't a best practice for iSeries programs to require 
that IBM user profiles be changed.

And after that e-mail I had to send this one:

This is not acceptable. I have applied this twice and I followed the 
procedure word for word on each occasion. A third apply is not going to 
magically make the product work.

They actually wanted me to apply the hotfix a third time because it 
"wasn't installed correctly". After that email someone finally called me 
who got me fixed.
