Do NOT share root! I realize that was one of the points that Justin was
making.
We had a read/write share on root. That has been killed. There have been
too many cases where someone had a share to root on IBM i and they got hit
with ransomeware and it started encrypting every file on their IBM i
because of that share.
Now we have instructions to constantly be on the lookout for someone
creating that share and deal with it.
