fyi, the support.veritas page confirmed it... we installed 9.0 on a server, and it got the Slammer (sqlexp) virus almost immediately... we didn't even have sql running on the box, it's their own sql engine to run be, and its not patched, after you install you have to run the sqlfix from sarc.com.... i couldn't believe it, our client has 2 t1's and had virtually no bandwidth going out (through the firewall that had the sql port blocked) actually, we patched it and now the damn thing wont run at all, so i'm going to uninstall and reinstall 8.6. be careful.
