Most of the server jobs run with the QUSER profile. They adopt the authority of 
the actual user, so there is (should be?) no additional security exposure as a 
result. It does make life interesting when you need to find the real user's 
active jobs though. These jobs for the most part are initiated as prestart 
jobs, so they are active before they have a "real" user.
