Why,  You ask??   Well ......

1. Because they are lazy.
2. They will then NEVER get a support desk call about a user not being
authorized to something.
3. Their programs will NEVER blowup while doing some OS/400 command that at
that particular site is locked down.
4.  And   "Gee that's how all their developers signon while developing  and
testing the app"
5.  "You mean your users don't signon as QGOD like our developers do?

and

Number 1 above,  and Number 1 above,  and Number 1 above,  and Number 1
above,  and Number 1 above,  and Number 1 above,  and Number 1 above,  and
Number 1 above,  and Number 1 above,  and .

It would seem.

I am currently working with a software vendor that is asking for the userid
for the software to have ALLOBJ.  Now we all know that this is a very very
bad move.  However, in order to get the product up and running I had to do
it.  What are other companies doing?  And why do the software vendors not
understand what ALLOBJ is and does.  IF the user id was not used to sign
in,
then I would not have a problem, but the software signs in with the userid
each day.
