Wayne, Don and Rob, I think your examples underscore what we see in the marketplace. Some people assert they are secure just because they run OS/400. Then they do things that make their box horribly un-secure and believe that because they run OS/400 they are somehow immune to security risks. There has been a lot of fury in the security space about having to comply with regulations like SOx, HIPPA, PCI, etc. and I think this is good. For all the system admins who are asserting that they are already secure, what these governmental and industry regulations are saying is "Oh yeah? Now prove it." And that's the difference. You can't just "think" you are secure, you have to be able to demonstrate it to auditors and regulators. 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 Celebrating our 10th Anniversary Year!

They thought they could achieve security through obscurity until I pointed out how vulnerable they were. -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
