Any one who has *allobj or *secadm or *secofr should have full auditing
turned on.  There for any thing they do is captured in the QAUDJRN.  You
should perform regular audits to make sure they do not disable auditing
on their accounts.

Best is to create a user with full authority to audit journals, yet no
other authority on the system.  This persons job is to audit your
security officers, and the rest of the folks.  You then give private
authority of *exclude on the journal and receiver libraries for all of
your security folks.  All this is over and above the stuff Patrick
mentioned.

Security is two parts, part 1 control access, part 2 audit access.
Control and Audit should be two different people.

Dave,

You can also prevent  *ALLOBJ/security officers from being able to
change
security related system values.  In V5R2, as long as you control the
service tools userIDs and the privileges that the other folks have, you
can
lock down security related system values using SST.  You would also want
to
prevent service tools userIDs with a default password from being
changed/logged into (another option in the service tools security menu).
Doing so will prevent any *ALLOBJ user profile from being able to change
your security related system values.  It also prevents 3rd party
applications from changing them "under the covers" during an
install/upgrade.

By using this AND using the audit journal, you can prevent others from
changing security related system values and also track who is changing
other non-security related system values.
