Re: How to secure the root directory in the IFS?

The command might be CHGAUT OBJ('/*') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*RX) OBJAUT(*NONE). This lets *public use objects and read the contents. They cannot do anything with security or rename or move objects.

A really good source for what to do is probably the Tools & Tips for Securing Your iSeries manual. The above sets what it recommends - removing *W and any object authorities, although it warns that some Unix-type operations may not like it. This is discussed in Chapter 12 of the version I have.

Hi All!

This might be a newbie question, but how does one go about securing the root directory in the IFS?

I know I should set the public authorization to *RX, but I'm not sure how to do so.

I need the actual commands to do so... I haven't been successful putting everything together. If someone has a step-by-step process, I'd be greatly appreciative!
