Adopted authority is not the same as swapping profiles with handles - the latter works with the IFS, the former does not.

I never said it was, Vern. My point was that giving the objects to, say, QDFTOWN with a chown(), an fchown(), or a CHGOWN wouldn't work.

I will say that profile swapping isn't as troublesome as I'd initially thought. But on closer examination, I found another problem with that option: you can't swap to a disabled profile (but you *can* CHGOWN [and presumably also chown() or fchown()] an object to it); the only profile we create currently for this application is a "maintenance and troubleshooting" profile, and a number of our customers keep it disabled when not in use.
