SOLARIS, AIX HOLE SAID TO LEAVE COMPUTERS WIDE OPEN | News: Reuters
A CERT advisory warns Solaris 8 and AIX 4.3 and 5.1 users of a
vulnerability in the respective operating systems' log-in programs
that allow remote access to the system. Attackers can gain system
access and only certain remote command protocols are enabled (and
most, like Telnet, are by default). Internet Security Systems said it
has been monitoring cracker chat rooms and learned that exploit code
is already in the works. Sun and IBM have not reported any incidents.

SPECIFICS ON 'EXTENDING' EXISTING APPS | Advice: search400

One member writes, "With regards to WebSphere being the tool of
choice to port legacy apps over to the Internet, (a previous
question's answer included this: 'extend existing iSeries 400 data
and applications rapidly to the Web.') How specifically will it
'extend' existing apps 'rapidly' to the Web?" Can you help this
member out?

THE MISSING LINK | A $157 million hangover

The holidays are more like the "holidaze" in Britain. Apparently
workers there love their Christmas parties, and virgin eggnog won't
do. A new survey shows each year 2 million workers in the U.K. get so
wasted at the company's holiday soiree that they have to call in sick
the next day or days -- too hung over to work. But employers are the
ones really getting hammered. They'll lose a sobering $157 million
thanks to the sickout. The survey also found men at the parties drink
double the amount their female colleagues quaff, polishing off an
average 11 units of alcohol -- the same as five pints of beer or 11
glasses of wine. Sherry Christmas!
