John:

I have to state that I do not consider myself a "security specialist" even 
though the company that currently employs me competes in that space -- I was 
hired for other reasons. I'm actually something of a "generalist", as are many 
others on this list. And my participation here is usually from personal 
interest, both in sharing knowledge when I have it and in learning from others 
which happens often.

OTOH, my current boss... um... kind of "wrote the book" as far as iSeries 
security goes and we have a couple others who qualify, so maybe I could drop a 
suggestion or two. I definitely agree that SOMEone should write. Maybe even 
MANY someones.
