Re: Installing 3rd Party Software using QSECOFR??

I'll echo the sentiment that it varies by what the software is.  I think 
that what is more important, however, is what the installed programs and 
files have as the default owner.  A lot of packages may require QSECOFR to 
install, but then create a new user and have the new profile be the owner 
of the programs/files installed.  This is much different from a package 
that installs all of its programs/files with QSECOFR as the owner.  That I 
find totally unacceptable:  a very few programs might need QSECOFR as 
owner (for example, some of TAATOOLS programs, etc.), but that should not 
and cannot be the norm.
