LEAD STORY

ISERIES FTP SECURITY UTILITY | NEWS: Midrange Stuff, OS/400 Edition

However robust iSeries security is, the OS/400 platform was 
conceived long before today's Internet protocols were in 
widespread use. Without properly securing TCP/IP, FTP, and other 
network access points, your AS/400 or iSeries could be left as 
vulnerable as that Windows NT server down the hall.

Searching through the history log can often be tedious, and it's 
easy to overlook what you're searching for if you're not

such as a user name, a device name, a specific CPF message ID, 
etc., you can use the FIND feature of DSPPFM. Check out this tip

THE MISSING LINK | Virgin gets in text message game 

"Is there an airport nearby, or is that just my heart taking 
off?" "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I 
together." These and other classically cheesy pickup lines are 
coming to Virgin Mobile. Richard Branson, playing Cupid this 
time instead of Phileas Fogg, will launch a text message 
flirting service on Valentine's Day. The idea is to let shy, yet 
coquettish, customers flirt via anonymous text messages. Think 
of it as a faceless, wireless icebreaker. Guys, if she rolls her 
eyes and hits "delete," use this one: "Hey, I know you! You were 
Miss Newcastle last year!"
