RE: IOSYSCFG special authority needed

Sign on as QSECOFR or some profile with *SECOFR authority.
Before you compile the program, delete it. Make sure it's not the one in
QSYS.
Use option 14 and press F4.
Change the replace program parameter to *NO and then press F10.
Change *USER to *OWNER and press enter to compile the program.

Now, when QSTRUP runs, it will adopt QSECOFR's authority. I have been doing
this for years, and have never had an authority issue when a batch program
like this runs.

Subject: IOSYSCFG special authority needed

On a 520 at V5R3 we have a modified QSTRUP program compiled by QSECOFR
and its USER parameter is equal to *OWNER.

When the system is IPL'ed, we get the error CPF222E (*IOSYSCFG special
authority is required.). The program is attempting to vary on *NWS
servers.

The QSTRUPJD user is QPGMR which appears to be the default shipped.

What do I need to do to eliminate the error and get the network servers
varied on at start up?

Thank you (again),
