I think backdoors are fairly common on the System i and are easily
implemented. That's why it's important to have security auditing turned on
and to pay attention to what programs are adopting authority or switching
profiles among other things.

Not as common as they used to be (every S/38 shop I ever worked at had a
QSECOFR authority adopting program), and as you point out there are specific
commands that allow you to look for those sorts of things.
