How can a Web site prevent down-loadable files into foreign countries?

You can't.

I am curious about the experience you may have had, in setting up your AS/400 as a web site or as a web server. Secondly, after setting up your AS/400, did the system handle the anticipated hits? The most difficult thing was getting the T1 connection. Everything is working fine on the public and private sites. Visit at http://www.hinotrucksusa.com Did you find any holes in your security policy, once live? Not yet. If you can hack in to the private site, I would appreciate you telling me how you did it! Did you factor in training or additional education to maintain the site? Originally, yes, but no formal training was done. Did anyone use IBM Firewall product (yikes) or perhaps another external Firewall product? No How much support did you factor into the solution, prior to installation? Vendor support for the Webulator product used for the private site is all we have. Did you increase or decrease the amount of support once live? A slight increase If not a 100% IBM Solution involved, are you happy with the vendor selection? Hardware - yes, Software - O.K. Dave

Well our web servers are not AS/400 boxes. But some of the questions seem quite general. We toyed with the idea of a seperate AS400 as the Web Server but decided against it since the market is flooded with people who know UNIX webservers. Did you factor in training or additional education to maintain the site? Training YES. Put our Data Security People on number of courses. Operations people nothing. Did anyone set the site up on your production box? We setup the box using our own staff. Did anyone use IBM Firewall product (yikes) or perhaps another external Firewall product? Nope. We use SunScreen at the public side and Gauntlet at the internal side. How much support did you factor into the solution, prior to installation? Not enough, especially the firewalls Did you increase or decrease the amount of support once live? Increase If not a 100% IBM Solution involved, are you happy with the vendor selection? With Sunscreen yes, with Gauntlet no. Its performance is not great under loads and we're got engineers onsite next week trying to get it speaking Token Ring. We use Apache Web Server, Netscape Server and Domino. Apache (free) and Netscape are good.
