I feel for you man. I've been hollerin' about the perils of *ALLOBJ for
years now, and finally broke down and put my money where my mouth is.
PowerTech has just released a new product called AuthorityBroker that
helps guys like us by not having us walk around with *ALLOBJ (and other
super-powerful authorities) all the time.  Check the authority out when
you need it, check it back in when you're done.  And if you have to give
*ALLOBJ to someone else, audit everything they do when they have the
authority checked out.  All in all, it's really a lot nicer than an OS
reload.
