RE: IBM's benevolent hacking

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure what this paragraph means, but I'll bite.  It sounds like
your security setup is pretty terrible.  Additionally, it sounds like
you're blaming at least some of your problems on OS/400, but you're not
going tell us what those problems are.

If that's the case, then maybe you can tell us what part of IBM you
contracted with, and exactly what you contracted to them for, and that
way your post might have some benefit to the rest of us.
