Hmm, guess I should have visited the site prior to making any speculation, 
huh?  Didn't know about the Argus link to Openhack, then again I'd just heard 
about it on the radio and that IBM was involved.  Hard to say about your 
question.  The /400 is the most secure box on the planet _BUT_ -- I'd wager 
good money that you could give me access to ten machines and I could guess 
the security officer password on at least one of them...
