Ted, You keep claiming that IBM uses the "trust" model, however, that is simply not true. If IBM simply trusted you, the machine wouldn't have checks in it to ensure that the built in "spare" capacity couldn't be enabled without the machine "phoning home" to verify that the upgrade was legitimate. How about if you allow the vendor code to periodically connect to a company web site and report on the STIFLE information found on the machine, to ensure that it was being run a comparable sized machine? Then it would follow IBM's "trust" model. Wayne Driscoll Product Developer JME Software LLC NOTE: All opinions are strictly my own.
