RE: Alternate to iSeries

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

AIX, being Unix, is probably easier to penetrate than iSeries. AFAIK, there 
has been no successful hacking of an iSeries that did not come from the 
inside or involve poor security setups - default passwords, etc. Why in the 
world would he want to use any other system that has greater potential for 
being hacked?

I know, Leif S, et al, can say there are ways. But most of these still need 
some access to the box first. And it is as vulnerable to denial-of-service 
as any other system on a public network.
