Frank,

That article I wrote a few years ago where *USRPRF would be the
default/minimum object auditing value allows you to track all accesses for a
user that has had auditing turned on via the CHGUSRAUD command. That is, if
you don't have an HA solution like MIMIX in place. HA tools invariably
require *CHANGE object auditing on objects in order to process/duplicate
object changes to the target box.

Having all of those values set in QAUDLVL is really an audit/security
person's "utopia" in that, if your system can accommodate the QAUDJRN
receiver data volume, it's better to have the log data and not need it than
to need it and not have it. In practice these days, I would not set *PRTDTA
or *SPLFDTA unless you had reason to suspect nefarious activity on sensitive
spool files and even then, only turn it on for a short period of time, do
the analysis, and turn it off.

I think your best bet is to go ahead with the CHGUSRAUD change for the
profiles you need to monitor and then determine which (if any) files on your
system need to be monitored for "read" actions (OBJAUD = *ALL). It is not
likely that you would be able to get away with *ALL object auditing across
the board.
