RE: Is the death of CFINT available for current AS/400 owners?

That's what I've heard as well.  Also, it would appear that IBM is
starting thier official shifting from Proprietary to non-proprietary
o/s's....   SO, look for your job in the near future to be one running
linux and websphere...on a eServer...and iSeries to be a moniker of
the past....like AS/400 or 360/20...or breadboards and trimmer pots....

Which is really a big bite, because unix is a SOB when it comes to systems
management ESPECIALY DASD management....they have neither clue nor do they
want to have a clue on what single level storeage is....and object
authority....well.....it's a different world than what you've enjoyed for
a LONG time....and we won't even get into user profiles...  And if you
thought that some utilities that reversed engineered OS/400 user passwords
were really nifty, keep in mind that you can download /etc/passwd
crackers from almost as many places on the net as you can pictures of
Pamela Anderson....:)

Also, does anyone have any idea when IBM will start charging for DB/2 on
OS/400 like they're doing for DB/2 on the other OS/S's running on
"iSeries"....?  And when they do, how do they plan on handling big 800
pound Gorilla that EVERYONE is standardizing to - Oracle?!
