"IBM does not deliver the system to run with QSECOFR for anything."
IBM link please.

There are many, many OS functions and not all of them are commonly used. For example, IBM dropped support for MGTC File Monitors, which we used. When I contacted IBM about that, they were shocked and told me they believed no one was using them.

If OS functions are failing with QSECOFR disabled you have changed defaults in a bad way. IBM does not deliver the system to run with QSECOFR for anything.

MANY of my customers run with QSECOFR disabled 24x7. Its use is heavily restricted and of course always remember if needed you CAN still sign on with a disabled QSECOFR at the defined system console device.

Certainly the vast majority of IBM Profiles can have no password and / or can be disabled but simply doing all of them will likely cause some issues. Testing is required!!
