Actually, it's IBM-speak for "we FUBARed it good and now we're trying to fix
it without admitting what we did."

I always apply "integrity" HIPERs, but I also like to know enough about the
problem to know if it really applies to my system and what is involved,
which is why I think IBM should give as much information as I did.  As to
why they don't, see my first paragraph.

OTOH, I agree that there should not be too much information given.  IMO, the
people who have posted all the details about how to use DMPSYSOBJ to see the
cleartext passwords should not have done so.  That's why to all the people
who have emailed privately for the details, I'm saying "Sorry, you won't get
them from me."
