RE: Restrict Printer Attachments?

Jerome,
It's fun isn't it ? I had this happen a few times until I found out
how they did it. If I remember correctly it was the CHGWTR
commend that was getting invoked. Changed authority on
the command to public *EXCLUDE (granting it to those I
did want to have it) and the problem stopped.
