Maybe not posting a message like this about someone you're about to
terminate on a high-profile news-group where it is likely he will read it?
If your goal is to ambush him, then you're probably tipping your hand by
posting a message on the iSeries world's most popular news group.

Subject: Preparing for a High-profile Termination
Situation:
High-profile, knowledgeable staff member soon to be terminated (employment,
not by Ahh-nold); has "keys to the kingdom" for both the System i and the
network; likely knows passwords for many service and/or utility profiles on
the iSeries.
Requirement:
Prior to term date, analyze system for vulnerabilities associated with a
position like the one described above and prepare a task list that will
address the situation both before and after the termination.
Areas to be reviewed include system values, network attributes (exit points
too), directory entries, SST, job descriptions, subsystem routing entries,
all user and group profile parameters and their implications, authorities to
libraries, directory (WRKLNK) authorities, etc.
Can anyone think of anything else that could be a critical hole that should
be reviewed/covered?
Best regards and TIA,
