My first day at my first AS/400 job, I sat in the front lobby for what seemed like forever. An IBM profile had gotten disabled somehow and no user could connect 5250. I think it was QTCP, but it might have been QUSER. I had to wait for it to be resolved before anyone could escort me into the building.

Subject: Re: disable all Q* ibm supplied profiles and chaning default passwords

Disable all the IBM supplies profiles, better check on that. There are
several of them that cannot be disabled and still have everything work.
You can remove the passwords from most of them but if you disable QSECOFR and QSYSOPR you will really hate it when you really need those profiles.
That happens when least expected and at the most critical time possible ( Murphy anyone).

Put policies in place to keep password changed and such. Don’t mess with
IBM profiles.
