RE: How Secure is Windows, Really?

From: Jim Franz


If you're worried thast someone with a valid user profile and password
will
do this sort of thing, then you better turn off ODBC immediately.


there is no "turn off odbc..." button on the i.


Sure there is.  ENDHOSTSVR *DATABASE.

And if you want to filter requests, you can write an exit program for the
QIBM_QZDA_SQL exit points.



And sql is executable in
many ways besides odbc, even from a cmd line with runsqlstm


Yeah, but if you turn off ODBC and force someone through a green screen (or
a web browser), then you can remove their access to the command line.
Regular users shouldn't have access to the command line.
