Re: Auditing adopt authority vs profile handles.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Thank you.
Then I suppose the issue becomes auditing not only those owned by QSECOFR, 
but also those owned by any *ALLOBJ user profile.  Of course, any owned 
versus *USRPRF should be enough of a red flag.

I've a few routines that use profile handles which also adopt authority to 

perform the switch. Either you need the password of the profile you're 
adopting, or the profile running the switch needs *ALLOBJ (or full rights 
to the profile in question). Providing the password doesn't seem very 
secure (unless prompted for, maybe) so I assume you'd want 
usrprf(*owner).
