We have sort of the opposite 'problem'. Our network security people run some kind of probe against every device found on our network. When it pokes the HMC, he calls home and reports a possible intruder. Then Support Center opens an incident and our CE gets dragged in. I tried to get the HMCs exempted from our internal probe. No dice. No exceptions. Our guys actually told me to ask Support Center to ignore the HMC complaint.
We all know the classic tale of the boy who cried wolf. If you recall, it was the wolf who won the day. . . .

My concern is the possibility of backdoors in appliances like the HMC and SE boxen. The problem is we don't know just what the Chinese are looking at nor for. Neither can we know if any apparent acceptance by them of the code as untainted is applicable to the code our machines are running. Are any other customers receiving such preferential treatment (perhaps the good folks at No Such Agency)? -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
