Thanks Andy,

I think that I am just going to have to go through them one by one and see if I 
can remember any of them..  I will also go through the reference manual and see 
what the defaults were..  It has been one of those days...

Keith,

The command will change your system values related to security as well as
turn on security auditing.  I don't believe that there is a command to
reverse the process, nor will listing out the source provide you with
your original values.

If you have a listing of your previous values, you could compare that to
your current values, but I suppose you would not be asking the question
if you had such a list.  Short of reloading your operating system, I
think you'll have to do the best you can.  If you did not have security
auditing turned on before, you can turn it off or learn to use the
information it has available.

The security reference manual has a section on system values, including
those values which are changed by the CFGSYSSEC command.  That same
section also lists the system value defaults.  Because the command does
not always set the values to their defaults, you could look at those
values which are no longer at their default.

Some things may be obvious to you (and your users).  If the password
rules have changed, it may not show up until someone needs to change
their password.  If you had allowed the security officer to sign on
anywhere, they now probably cannot.

Good luck, I don't think that there is an easy answer to this one, unless
you listed out your system values not to long ago.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
