Re: Security concerns


Mike,

If you'd like to use my FTP exit program, I'll be happy to send you a copy.

Subject:    Security concerns



How realistic is this scenario? We have had many programmers and
consultants come and go. They all know our IP address of our production
Iseries. What is to stop someone from using a profile that was in use in
the past and was never deleted? For example, I just found such a profile of
a programmer who left here 5 years ago, still enabled. If someone harbored
a grudge, what is to stop them from FTP's into our system and deleting
files? Or even to just shut down all the subsystems ? is there a way to
disable what one can do in an FTP session?

Thanks,
