IBM is working on a solution to the password sniffing problem. PTFs should
be available soon for all supported releases. For product 5769SS1 (OS/400),
the V4R3 PTF number is SF62894, the V4R4 PTF is SF62895, and the V4R5 PTF
is SF62896.

After you apply the PTF for your system you will need to activate it by
terminating and then restarting all subsystems that perform interactive
work. Doing an IPL is one way to do this. Since your passwords may have
been compromised, after applying and activating the fix, you may wish to
change the passwords on your systems.
