Ray,

Most (all?) of those user profiles are listed in appendix B of the Security
Reference manual. See
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com:80/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3ALC04/B.0 for
that appendix.

My guess is that you did not understand your security auditor correctly.
For example, having PASSWORD(*NONE) is much safer than having PASSWORD
(*USRPRF). Each user profile that has PASSWORD(*USRPRF) should have its
password changed. It is not a good idea to give a password to most of the
IBM supplied user profiles that are shipped with PASSWORD(*NONE).
