Yes, there have been and are far too many incompetent auditor, but there are good auditors and a good auditor is your friend. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

They think a computer is a computer is a computer and they all run windows and they all need McAfee AntiVirus because that is what the windows team said they run on all the desktops. So we were hit because we did not have McAfee on the z890. PS. They did not appreciate my picture of the z890 with a McAfee box on top of it." My reply to Tom: "Ask the auditors to go to McAfee/Symantec/Kaspersky/Norton/etc and ask that vendors if they have any software for z/OS... Offer them a free lunch if they indeed find one." Scott Ford also wrote: "I understand the auditors have a job to do, no issue. I can remember one auditor telling me to pull superzap off our box and re-link when we needed. I rolled my eyes, I couldnt believe what I was hearing." Just search IBM-MAIN and RACF-L archives. There are too many bashing of auditors. Have fun. ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
