The short answer?  Because nobody up there ever bothered to take the time to 
learn AS/400 security.  Same reason everything is owned by SSA and that it is 
suggested you use group profile SSA for all BPCS users or risk losing 
support.  Don't feel personally slighted -- as the late "Peanuts" author 
said, "your name just came up."  Most of the other software vendors do this 
too, although they don't usually threaten you with loss of support for not 
following their security guidelines.  Just set the SSA user profile so that 
it cannot sign on.  At least SSA doesn't put their own libraries in the 
system portion of the library list like Help Systems does!
