We are not using that specific feature, but are using IBM2074 and Visara controllers to drive console PC's. For us, all such are physically secure and not connected to the company network.
We looked at 'thin client' PC's from Visara that have no floppy, no CD, no hard drive, and password protected against changes. IIRC, price was attractive. It should be easy to build a PC that uses only USB connected external drives. No where near perfect, but enough to stop the casual intruder and to clearly communicate management policy. No one could plead ignorance. Another thought is a Knoppix like solution where the PC is booted and runs from a read only CD. The hard drive is used only for a swap file. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Lowe Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 1:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: OSA-ICC and PC's Hi Listers, For those of you who are using OSA-ICC, how are you managing 'unwanted software/apps' from being installed onto the PC's that are being used as MVS Consoles?
