It was my impression that SECINT PTFs were shipped in the normal maintenance 
stream with the description 'INTEGRITY PROBLEM' as the only description (and of 
course the SUPed apar).

I am not aware if SECINT PTFS go through the RSU process. If they do not, this 
would be an argument for SMP apply using the PUT level as opposed to the RSU 
level.

As far as I know, SECINT PTFs/apars do not show up in the public searches of 
IBMLINK (or even "entitled" searches). I have not attempted any searches while 
logged into the Security Portal.

HTH,

Best I can tell, the "SECINT" SOURCEID is available only via the SECINT.ASSIGNS 
file, available only through the Security Portal.  I've never seen a SECINT PTF 
in any RECEIVE ORDER with CONTENT(RECOMMENDED) (but that doesn't mean there 
aren't any).  Thus, it appears that one is "expected" to subscribe to the 
Security Portal and to its notification process to learn when a 
security/integrity problem has been identified and fixed.
