Gotcha......and as you probably realized (by my now obviously lack of
knowledge/misguided question) our company don't use those features.

Makes sense now though.

Subject: Re: Cleaning IFS From Command Line

The /QNTC area of the IFS provides access to Windows systems on the 
network.  Since /QNTC is within /, deleting everything from / would 
delete everything (that's accessible) from /QNTC as well.

Same goes for any mounted NFS shares.

Same goes for /QFileSvr.400 which accesses other AS/400 on network.

Same goes for /QNetWare if you're using that...

It's just not a good idea...

I understand the OS part and all that.

And I agree....if you do this command...your boss
Better be right behind you hitting the "enter" key and
Have a signed document from the CIO also stating it's okay also :)

Yikes!  Don't run that!  That'll delete EVERYTHING.  Including the 
operating system (if you have enough authority).  Including every file

on every Windows server on the network (if you have authority/access).
