Hey all I need some help with auditors.  First let me state that I do not love
auditors.  Necessary?? Yes.  Evil?? Maybe.  Here is how it has unfolded so far.
A - Auditor
M - Me
A: Could you send me the /etc/password file?
M: No
A: Why not?
M: It doesn't have one.
A: How is that possible? Isn't it UNIX?
M: No.
A: Well what is it?
M: MPE.
A: NT?
M: No MPE.
A: What's that?
M: The operating system.
A: Who makes it?
M: HP
A: Who?
M: Hewlett Packard.
A: Oh. Let me get back to you.

        So I have held the wolves at bay for a while longer.  But how do I
dispose of them?  They are going to say "You do not comply to standard
practices".  The fact that the practices were developed for UNIX and NT will
not hold water.  So how do I handle questions about password aging?  Hacking
attempts.  I feel I can get away with saying that they are immune to viruses,
since none exist.  How do y'all handle MANAGER.SYS passwords.  I have 200
systems to manage.  Also the fact that nobody has penetrated our system in 4000
accumulated years is not relevent.  What think folks.
