Re: Securing an outq

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Look in the archives for SPLCTL and JOBCTL. OUTQ security is a little 
weird. You should probably refer tot he Tips and Tools for Securing Your 
iSeries. To quote,

There is a section in the Security manual on Printing in the Work 
Management chapter (near page 186). Read until you understand it well.

Clearly you need to check for users with *SPLCTL special authority. 
There're reports in GO SECTOOLS that'll show this, including mismatches 
between user class and special authorities. There's also a PRTQAUT command 
that can be called from that menu.
