Bill -

<Rant>
Yes, you can (kind of):
BY TAKING *ALLOBJ AUTHORITY AWAY FROM THIS USER!
</Rant>

You probably haven't had an IT audit lately!

I can't think of a good reason for ANY user to have *ALLOBJ authority.
If it is because you never designed a good security scheme for securing
objects on your system, NOW is the time.

There are some very good security packages available for the iSeries
that help you to monitor and secure your system.  For example,
POWERLOCK by POWERTECH - and their top guys (John Earl
and Tom Liotta) are members of THIS list!

And I would guess that you have more than one user that has *ALLOBJ
authority...  ;)
