All good answers, but (if you are that concerned) I think that your #1
task is to find someone smarter than your "knowledgeable staff member"
to be on call in case an emergency arises.

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?
