I know at least one of our engineers does this with his laptop. It seems to work OK for him. I wouldn't do it on an S/390 unless I had hardware crypto acceleration, for sure. And probably not even then, because I think in the S/390 world you can assume a much higher degree of physical security for the system and DASD than you can with, say, a laptop. Adam
