RE: Security Options

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are using Powerlock (http://www.softlanding.com/powerlock/index.htm) to
help monitor exit points.  It is a highly functional package - there are
many other packages available as well, so don't limit yourself to testing
just one.  OS/400 object-level security is the best place to begin - only
allowing certain users access to objects with PUBLIC *EXCLUDE authority.
There are many ways to implement this (user profiles, group profiles,
authorization lists) on the object level.  For instance, create an
authorization list for each agency and secure their proprietary files to the
authorization lists.  I'm sure the gurus will have much more to add than I
could.

This might not be the place to post this but I thought that you all would be
able to help me out.  We are in the process on moving to a new 400 that will
have 2 other agencies on it also.  I am just looking for some possible
software to help with security.  I would appreciate any suggestions or
comments.
