Other than "common knowledge" that IBM user profiles should not be
renamed or deleted, is there any official IBM documentation stating the
fact? We have auditors who want to rename or delete QSECOFR, QUSER,
QSRV, QSRVBAS, QPGMR, QSYSOPR, &c. I found and printed IBM's command
help for DLTUSRPRF that restricts deleting those profiles, but have not
seen anything on a rename.
In addition to Barsa's note about IBM not supporting the renaming of user
profiles, those add-on utilities that do support it (i.e., TAATOOL), won't
do it for IBM supplied profiles.
Ask these idiot auditors exactly how they would recommend renaming IBM
supplied user profiles. There are no APIs that will do it. There's no
third-party utilities that will do it. While there would be ways of
hacking the system to do it (at least before V6 of the operating system),
all those ways would break the operating system.
Quite simply the auditors won't know how to do it because, much like
Unix/Linux, you can't exist without those profiles and they can't be
renamed without re-writing the operating system.
