Audit

Boss is asking me to gather data for an IT audit. You know, I would be
hard pressed to find a worse waste of time. As usual, they want the list
of system values. I am sure that is so they can consider it a ding if we
allow a user to have more than one session. Doesn't matter if they can go
to 30 PC's and fire up browsers and look at the data but two 5250 sessions
is a concern.
Then they have the usual commands they want to be secured: STRSEU, UPDDTA
that sort of rot. Of course WRKQRY, RUNQRY QRYFILE..., STRSQL, EDTF are
not in the list. And no mention of WDSC, etc.
And, why be concerned about the special authority of *ALLOBJ when they
don't check one file at all to see if you are using resource security?
Does it matter if no one has *ALLOBJ yet *public has *all authority to the
list of social security numbers and everyone has iSeries Access (or ftp,
or ...)?
Gee, why don't we tell them that there is no twinax that leaves the locked
door? Based on the above wouldn't that then constitute a secured system?
