RE: Fast/400 hits the news again....

["John Earl" <john.earl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe park is author of AS/400 Security in a Client/Server environment (c)
1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  You can still find copies of  it in
obscure corners of the net.  

It's an absolutely hair raising book that demonstrates (among other
things) that any system is subject to attack if it is not diligently
guarded.  The scenarios in this book gave me pause when I first came
across it in 1997.
