Just to add one thing to the great information provided by John ... On a system with security level 30 or lower, another was to exploit weak security is via job descriptions. If a *jobd is setup with an actual user profile for the User parameter (as opposed to *rqd), it is possible to hijack the authority from that profile. My first day on the job at my current place of employment, I sat down at a PC, got the AS/400 sign on screen and had myself a *SECOFR user profile created within a couple of minutes - all of this without having anyone create a profile for me. Todd Kidwell (Netstar) AS/400 System Administrator (313) 224-0578 >>> "John Earl" <john.earl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 01/28/04 06:25PM >>> Breaking into an iSeries is as easy as the system administrator allows it to be (and based on our experience auditing machines, that would be "too damn easy"). The steps are as simple as 1,2,3... Access, Explore, Attack.
