Re: Profiles for Security and Operator -- MIDRANGE-L

Say your AS/400 is on the internet.  Crackers are going to
try to get in using QSECOFR and QSYSOPR.  If they don't
know the name of your Security officer and system operator,
however, they don't know what user names to try to crack.
Makes it a little more difficult for them.
