VERNON HAMBERG:

I think one of the confusing bits about IFS security is that it is a combination, I might say, of U*x-style permissions and windows-style attributes. The latter include read-only, hidden, archive, and system, just as you would see if you look at the security tab when looking at file properties in Windows.

Vern, trust me, I've grokked this at an expert level. I'm saying our community is littered with antipatterns at the intersection of Unix file permissions and OS/400 authorities.


*
Don't use authorities for stream files in the IFS if Unix permissions will work.
*
Learn to use Unix group permissions within the IFS.
*
If you must use authorities (almost never IMHO), K.I.S.S. applies.
