We drew the same conclusion from a cost standpoint. We ended up with a
product from Byteware. The only time over the the last couple years that we
needed udpates to it was when we went from V5R2 to V5R4. BTW, there was
another thread asking about locking ODBC down to read only, this product
allowed us to do that with a single rule.

We had started to write our own (telnet and the old DDM exit point) but
then got safenet/400 instead. It was cheaper to buy then write.

Subject: Exit Point Protection and Monitoring
Does anyone have a rough idea on the % of shops that write their own exit
point programs to monitor and protect their exit points as opposed to
buying
3rd party products?
Also, what would be the best argument to buy instead of
writing your
own exit programs. How often does IBM release ptf's or other updates that
would necessitate testing home grown exit programs?
Thanks, Larry
