Re: QSECURITY Level 40

["Lemen, George (Contractor)" <george.lemen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Terry --
 We went to level 40 when we did CISC to RISC migration.
 One "gotcha" was with my vendors. Some of them had programs that are
sensitive to the security level. When we planned our upgrade the second
question I got from several vendors was "what security level will you be
running?". I told them security level 40 and they changed the distribution
CD. 
 All of my vendors technical help folks knew about security level 40; all
knew what the impact (if any) was to their product(s) right off the bat.
 I'd suggest a "poll" of you vendors would be in order before "throwing the
switch". You may have to re-install some products.

Is there a URL out there that shows step by step the requirements for
changing from QSECURITY 30 to 40?  Pros/Cons?  Anyone who's gone
through this?  Is it worth it?

I know this has been kicked around before on this list, but I'm thinking
about turning it on this weekend.  Is there enough time to get ready
(two/three days)?

Thanks!
