RE: i5 Youngsters

Well, how do you generate your PDF? How do they look?

iText by Lowegy (spelling). It is an open source Java tool which can
inherrently run on the i5. Not the cleanest approach, but it is very
"configurable" through Java programming. They look as good as you want them
too (i.e. if a programmer creates the layout they will look bland).
Unfortunately I can't post an example because it is proprietary and I don't
own the rights (even though I developed it - what a bummer eh?).

If you start TCP/IP, a lot of unneeded services are exposed by default.

I agree that the defaults sure do have a bad/dangerous preset (i.e. *ALL).

Yes, but with unencrypted Telnet, HTTP Admin. Exposing your admin
passwords to everyone on the same LAN.

QCRTAUT is by default at *CHANGE.

If you start TCP/IP, a lot of unneeded services are exposed by
default. Like SMTP. Like LPR. Like DDM. Like a lot of other stuff.

2) Expired support contracts are a decision by the company, not a problem
with i5's.

Yes, they're made by incompetent personnel. I'm just saying that there
are a lot of i5 people don't know much either.

do too much printing per say, but do more generation of PDF's and

query-able

web pages using RPG-CGI or RPG and XML.
