And by this, I hope you know what I mean.  There is no way copying a 
file to the IFS can magically execute code on the System i under normal 
operation.

There are of course ways around that.  Running non-secure environments 
such as PASE, especially running "industry standard" code with known 
exploits, can get around this.  So I suppose as you start running 
non-native applications, there is more need for that sort of protection.
