Re: IFS object ownership

["James H. H. Lampert" <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm. The mapping from user profile name to user ID number is buried in 
the bowels of DSPUSRPRF output. <plug>And I can get a listing of that 
mapping by directing it to an outfile, then displaying that outfile in 
QuestView (tm), and hiding the fields that are of no interest.

And it looks like the IBM-supplied user profiles have ID numbers that 
are constant across systems. e.g.:
QSECOFR = 0, QUSER = 4294770692, QSYS = 101, QDFTOWN = 102 . . .

Tell me, just out of morbid curiosity, does anybody know if anything bad 
happens (whether bad as in "may cause a mild headache" or bad as in 
"don't cross the streams") if an IFS object's ownership is transferred 
to QDFTOWN? Or to QSYS?

Hmm. This could be a problem: it apparently needs "add" authority to the 
user profile to which the object's ownership is being transferred. They 
make it easy enough for unwary system administrators to screw things up; 
why must they make it so hard to make things unscrewable?
