OK, now I'm scared too.  I know there are vulnerabilities in Apache
periodically (hence the name, look it up if you don't know).  I'm loathe
to touch anything that relates to Websphere on one box because the app
we run is so finicky.  Now I'm thinking that I get a lot of updates to
my Linux servers but nothing related on the iSeries.  Obviously I can
get the various groups, but it doesn't feel like the same thing.  I
really hate to break a working app (it's happened before) just by
applying PTFs.

Anybody have specific guidelines in this realm of additional software?
