RE: Alternate to iSeries....IFS?

["Vikas Bhat" <vikas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask you a curious question, the answer to which might come
easily to some of you, as I don't know as much - what about attacks from
hackers, viruses to the IFS on the iSeries? Can any of you throw some light
on this for me? Isn't the IFS more susceptible? And what kind of protection
do we have on the iSeries for the IFS?

Regards,
Vikas.

Maybe you can present it in a different light--If a hacker can't break in
to the iSeries he might have better luck with the AIX system.  It also
gives you more battle fronts to cover.  If you change a program in one
environment you also have to make the corresponding change to the other,
etc...
