Thanks for the plug :).  It will definitely be worth Oliver's time.

Pat Botz (The IBM iSeries Security Architect) and I will be doing a web
cast on March 25th at Noon EST that will cover this and many other
topics.  You can register at the iSeriesNetwork site
(http://pentonevents.webex.com/pentonevents/onstage/g.php?d=665444549)
or click off the link on our website's main page (www.powertech.com).

Someone in this thread mentioned the "Top 10 Security Risks" session
that I do at COMMON.  During this web cast I'll cover an abbreviated
version of this - more like a top 6 - because of the limited time (I
gotta give Pat some time to talk about all the V5r2 new stuff, ya know).


With regard to your Security Questions, the first question I have is: 
Have you turned on the Security Audit Journal (QAUDJRN)?  This is the
best source of security information on the iSeries.  If not, how will
you know if there is a problem?  Recommendation #1 is to turn this puppy
on this week.   next week.  Next week we'll talk about what you can do
with the data you collected.
