Wasn't there a change in the default for creating files from the old days of SYS38 to the 400 in the security placed on the file created? We used to have to grant object authority to various file (a lot of them) every time we changed operators (and some regular users). I'm thinking that by default *public was excluded from the files on the 38 and on the 400 the default is *public *change. Now this could be bad memory or just that that's the way the shop was set up then. Anyone remember how that was?

For example, a user has ClientAccess and Access. The assumption is that the data is safe because the users won't figure out how to configure ODBC to get to the AS/400 data. I'm not saying that I think it's right, that is just my observations from the trenches. I have found object security to be the exception, not the rule even though every company that I've been in the last 10+ years has had PC's connected via ClientAccess, WinAPPC or Rumba.
