Re: iSeries Security in Computerworld

[pnelson@xxxxxxxxxx]

   I once had a client who swore she was secure. She gave me *user authority.
   A few minutes later I remarked (somewhat jokingly) that she was overpaid.
   She had output queues named for previous years, and those output queues
   contained saved W2 spool files.

     I'll never forget back several years ago when I walked into the head of
     accounting for a municipality in the SE, walked up to her terminal,
     created
     my own USRPRF on the fly from a signon screen and in 4 minutes was
     playing
     in her payroll and G/L....I think they were at seclvl(10) or
     lower...forget
     back then...  The problem here was that their business pudnah had set it
     up
     that way and told them to leave it alone so that they could dial in
     easily...or some other stupid stuff...  Well, they changed a few things
     the
     next day...  Not sure if they're still with the same pudnah... :)
