If that's what it stands for I should think those aren't just the big three but the ~only~ three. At least, I've never heard of any others. Which is odd, when you think about it; surely there's someone out there wanting to break into the market? So says my capitalist assumptions. But apparently not.

I'll assume that means "Enterprise Security Management", and I'll guess it refers to security processes (not RACF), such as assigning userid's, making sure people have just the access they need, periodic audits, etc. Am I even close? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
