1. Remove tsm …

   tsm ("Tivoli Storage Manager" which is now "IBM Spectrum Protect") is
   used by a single application (archives). The installation of the current
   client with bee on all systems would be much more complex now than
   it was in the past, because
   
   - there is now a plugin machinery where shared libraries get loaded
   at runtime. So it is no longer trivial to see, which libraries are
   needed. A complete installation, on the other hand, consists of about
   600 files which seems to be kind of overkill when these files get
   distributed to and backed up on each system.
   
   - the client maintains more "local" data like keys generated for the
   client and certificates downloaded from the server. These maintained
   files, of course, would need to be special handled, otherwise they
   would be overwritten by the distmaster. This would require a lot of
   reverse engineering to identify everything and special code to handle
   it.
   
   For our only application using tsm, I've created a installation
   in its project directory (at /confidential/archive/tsm ). The tsm backup
   and archive client is no longer needed in the system.
   
   So remove it. It binary anyway.
