Need to use QSECOFR to load GA-PTFs?

I have been advised  by Geac Customer Support that after downloading a
GA-PTF, you should sign on as QSECOFR to load it to the AS/400 (using their
.exe installer), and that using another user-id (such as PTFOWNER or
AULPTFUSER) may not work.

I find that rather strange - I can load the PTF manually (using WinZip to
extract the actual PTF, and FTP to upload), but if I want to use Geac's
utility I need to be signed on as QSECOFR?  Surely in many organizations
the QSECOFR password is strictly controlled and the person responsible for
installing PTFs would not be the security officer?

Best Regards
