You know what would be the easiest way to put a (virus/worm/trojan) on a
machine?   Send me a Fedex that looks like it came from IBM.  Include a cover
letter from some current PTF.  The CD, however, would contain a
virus/trojan/worm/backdoor. With as many PTF's as I get, it would be easy to 
slip
one in.

This assumes the person has some knowledge of my machine.  If your AS/400 is on
the web, you can get quite a bit of info about it from SNMP (If on) or from
www.netcraft.com.  But who would want to do this, when Microsoft makes it easy 
to
make a macro that does so much damage so easily.
