Re: User profile question

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several of the IBM programs use the IBM profiles to get attributes.
QUSER, QTCP, QPGMR are a few heavily used by IBM processes.
Example: when a ftp request received, it first logs on with QTCP
and then profile-swaps to the user id supplied in the request.
Disabling these could disable vital parts of your system.
Maybe someone on the list can point to a table of where these are used.
