Re: QSYSOPR Security issue for Backups.

Stephanie,

When you granted authority to the parent directories, that does not filter down
to the already existing files.

When you say you changed automatic backup to run " by QSYSOPR", what exactly
did you change?
It's been a few years since I setup a BRMS shop, and perhaps
others can chime in, but I don't remember ever trying to using QSYSOPR to run jobs.

If the /tmp file still exists, what is it's authority?
The cmd - wrkaut '/tmp/brms/q1asav540051' will display - need to know
both object authorities and data authorities (F11 toggles)

I am trying to remove the user who originally set up this iSeries - he's
been gone for years. I have changed the automatic backup to be run by
QSYSOPR -and no matter what - continue to receive this message. 'Not
authorized to object. Object is /tmp/brms/q1asav540051'. Of course the
number changes each day. I have granted authority to QSYSOPR for /tmp
/tmp/brms. Finally I gave QSYSOPR *ALLOBJ authority in the profile - and
still got this message last night. Any/All ideas would be greatly
appreciated.


Thanks
