Re: Package Vendor that changes IBM command Defaults.

Would the short shrift be because mmanagement doesn't realy care about
security?  What I hear repeatedly is a very loud yawn whenever anyone
talks of security, hacks, break-ins, and crashes.   Management won't fund
extra hardware, software, or training for security issues.  Whatever else
Microsoft may do, it does know how to follow the ring of the cash register
and it is fairly clear that security doesn't ring their bell.
