Re: Re: Recent bugtraq postings

Shalom -
I'll jump in here...

No offense intended, but since I have also read your postings about the "insecurity" of OS/400 - i5/OS on comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc, IMO I'd say that you are more into promoting your BOOK than helping iSeries shops secure their systems.

The average iSeries shop with NO security software, with minimal attention to such things as changing the default passwords on IBM-supplied profiles and not allowing QSECOFR to sign on to any terminal but the system console, is AT LEAST 100 times more secure than any Windows system.

For example -
Show me where to find a Linux "boot disk" that will allow you to change QSECOFR's password like you can with the Administrator password in Windows:

Michael,
I can live with assumptions, but what in your opinion is inaccurate?
