Joe, When IBM discovers a security or integrity problem, the PTF description looks pretty much like this one: APAR Error Description / Circumvention DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR MA28042 : ----------------------------------------------- Integrity Problem. And I think Rob's point is that we just don't know if this is a big, malevolent, widespread, high impact problem, or just a nit. IBM's policy is to not discuss the details of security and/or integrity problems, so we are forced to take it on faith that all is well. Given IBM's track record, many of us our comfortable taking it on faith. It's important to understand that the level of disclosure (mostly, but not completely, end-user driven) about MS security problems and the level of disclosure about IBM security problems is not an apples to apples comparison. jte -- John Earl | Chief Technology Officer The PowerTech Group 19426 68th Ave. S Seattle, WA 98032 (253) 872-7788 ext. 302 john.earl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx www.powertech.com This email message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the intended recipients and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
