Rob,

I think you're kind of stuck, by definition, the owner of an object (spool file) can do whatever
he/she wants to do with that object.

How about changing SBMFAX to duplicate the spool file into the FAX outq with another owner? (Google
for ways to duplicate the spool file)

Alternately, how about getting with the vendor of the fax software (IBM) to modify their end to handle
a user deleting the spool file mid-process? It seems to me that the problem could be seen as a bug.

I was really hoping to not have to change all programs that use SBMFAX to
change the overrides on the spool file.

Re: Giving users "deposit" access to an output queue.






I do not think you want *DTAAUT; perhaps AUTCHK(*OWNER).?
?CHGOUTQ
Authority to check (AUTCHK) - Help
*DTAAUT
Any user with add, read, and delete
authority to the output queue can
control all spooled files on the queue.

AFaIK the DLTSPLF does not care about in which OUTQ the spool file
resides if it is the owner of the spool file requesting the delete; i.e.
the user that owns the spool can always delete? Pg434 v5r4: Note 1 in
the Security Reference for "Spool Commands", DLTSPLF, "Users are always
authorized to control their own spooled files."

If the spool file is created to an alternate owner [see SPLFOWN() in
OVRPRTF for example], then the user would not be able to modify\delete
the spool given the OUTQ has OPRCTL(*NO) and/or the user has no special
authorities to control job\spool... where controls are limited to the
*OWNER of the queue and/or file.

They're interfering with FAX/400.

I tried creating the output queue with AUTCHK(*DTAAUT) and making
*PUBLIC *USE however they could still delete the spool file. If I
make it *EXCLUDE they cannot deposit. So I left it *EXCLUDE and
they could do a SBMFAX and that process (running under a different
profile) would then put it into that output queue. However, they
could still delete the spool file while it was in that output queue.

I have "Display any file" set to *NO.

With this authority they cannot display or delete other spool files
on that output queue, however they can still abuse their own and I'd
like to stop that.
