Subject: [WEB400] OK - Safety tip - THANKS Egon!


OK - how many people remember the Movie "Ghostbusters!"

I want EVERYONE to do the following - don't think about it, don't even stop and 
read the remaining amount of words...

Cut & Paste this into a Telnet session to ALL of your AS/400's NOW!!!

CHGCMDDFT CMD(ENDTCPSVR) NEWDFT('SERVER(*DHCP)')

When you hit enter, have the satisfaction of NOT having someone mistake the 
ENDTCPSVR command for the ENDPASTHR
command... :)

If they DO mistake it, they bring down a relatively innocuous TCP/IP service 
that can be re-started quickly, and doesn't
bring down the WHOLE user community!!

And PLEASE - IBM - STOP Defaulting DANGEROUS commands to *ALL without an ALARM 
Bell going off @ the tube saying "Are YA
BLOODY WELL Sure"
