James,

I'd agree with the assesment that Chris made.  It is my understanding that
there is an APAR on this MA26080 and that fixes are being made to V4R5,
V5R1, and V5R2 on this matter.

I just read an interesting paper on IP spoofing.  Several systems were
tested for their TCP/IP sequence number generators and randomness.  It was
discovered that insufficiently random TCP/IP sequence numbers result in
easy IP spoofing and other attacks (see CERT Advisory CA-2001-09 for
more).  OS/400 was included in the study and found to be very lacking.
Can someone comment on what this means in terms of securing a site?

Paper is here:

OS/400 results are here:
