Re: IBM's version of bind is obsolete.

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We wend through this earlier this year with the OpenSSH that IBM uses in 
i 7.1.  IBM was aware of the vulnerabilities and could address each one 
with one of two answers: a) On IBM i we are not susceptible to that, or 
b) Here's the PTF that fixes that.

Unfortunately while we trust that IBM has in fact given us true 
statements the guys 'scanning' still say: "We see old Stuff. You're out 
of compliance."
