He’s selling plain and simple. So is Mugzak. Some laboratory bs that he will even show you in application code. Then no doubt analyze your application code for a small (large) fee. Nobody is saying the mainframe is fool proof. But, it is inherently (by design) more secure than any other

You're missing the point: there is no such SVC in the dispute. What is at issue is the ability to detect key zero code that turns on JSCBAUTH, not the ability to install trap doors. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 From: IBM
