Re: S/36 payroll - was AS/400 user password

Rob:

This initiallu sounded secure:

Did anybody check for that specially evoked task that would wait one second,
check for the payroll files, and if present make a private duplicate?

How about that assembler task that wasn't on the D T or DF U commands... Did
the payroll run after a fully complete P S command?

So much for the "ERASE" command!

I knew of a company that when they ran their payroll on the S/36, for
managers:
All comm outside of the computer room was cut.
The payroll data was restored.
Process ran
Payroll saved.
Payroll deleted with ERASE option to write binary zeros over all data.
