Yes, I believe that means no one is currently connected to that share.
It does not mean that no one has it mapped in Window and may attempt to
connect at some point.
I would remove them yes.

Subject: RE: IFS share /QIBM and /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/DirSrv
My newest LPAR has only two shares one of them is user based. The other is
/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/DirSrv Perhaps older versions of IBM i had more
defaults. This one probably started out at 7.3 and is now 7.4.
An lpar that started out in the dark ages does have QIBM, etc. I will
review. Tell your friends family his death was not in vain, others will
learn by his example.
The big question is this: If I use IBM Navigator for i (the 2001 port
thing) to look at file shares, Properties, Sessions and I see an image like
https://imgur.com/11eCpBL Does that mean that the share is not in use at
this time? I may get aggressive on these IBM ones and shut them down.

Subject: IFS share /QIBM and /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/DirSrv

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine: he has come under attack by
a ransomware virus who encrypted a lot of files all across the company ...
and in some IFS shares too ... like /QIBM/ProdData and different
subdirectories.
A lot of problems, Java doesn't start, HTTPGETCLOB functions stop working
and other nice things ... 2 days of hell for IT department.
Checking on the IBM i we found some default directories share, like /QIBM,
/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/DirSrv
I look at my other IBM i systems and everyone has the same default shared
directories ...
1) Why this default?
2) Can I stop these shares?
3) There's some kind on antivirus solution for IBM i?
Thanks
