RE: AS/400 Security

[Dwayne Lindner <Dwayne.Lindner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The difference between Level 30 and Level 40 is that 30 allows calls to
undocumented system API's whilst 40 doesn't.  If you have some bad
program(mer)s you may find that your applications fall over under 40 whereas
they will work under 30.  You can use the system auditing to enable checking
for this sort of activity.

You can use the security wizard from Client Access Express Operations
Navigator - it's great, informative and friendly.

Subject: AS/400 Security



What is the difference between level 30 and 40 - I had always thought that
40 was a better choice. Also, what are some of the basic security concerns
on the AS/400, on a system that has no connection to the internet, but does
have PC file transfers. 
If there is a FAQ on all this kindly direct me to it.
Thanks,
Frank
