Re: Strange device creations

Audit the command CRTDEVDSP.  I know, you're thinking but maybe they're 
autoconfiged, or autovrt, and that command doesn't come into play?  Well, 
I had a system with autoconfig turned off but iSeries Access windows still 
configured new sessions.  I then renamed the command CRTDEVDSP and stopped 
it cold.  However the boss replaced a failing twinax terminal with a 
different model.  "autoconfig" deleted the old model but could not create 
the new session because there was no CRTDEVDSP command to run under the 
covers.  Ended up having to run a remote command to rename CRTDEVDSP back 
so that we could get a 5250 session.  Then I was told to leave that 
security hole open and not rename the command back to something other than 
the supplied name.
