Paul,

Just one more thought - the logs that are referred to in PCI 10.5 are generally considered to be the QAUFJRN logs, which cannot be modified by a user, vs the QHST logs, which could be modified by a user.

I need some opinions on PCI requirement 10.5 which refers to audit trail
logs. I take this to mean the history log on the iSeries and I can't
find any documentation that says it can't be altered. How have others
handled this requirement?
