Do not modify the settings on QSYS.LIB
Immediately eliminate the share on the root. Just do it. To create a share on the root directory here will be accepted as your letter of resignation.
There may be some disruption as people now have to create shares specific to their needs but a share on the root should have never have been done in the first place. I would hope that you would fail an audit, if not your auditors are not worth spit.
A nice initial generic share could be on the /home directory. Most users should have their home directory set to something like this
User profile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : ROB
Home directory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : /home/ROB
I could go on and on but it all boils down to you just need to stop the share on root without any delay. NOW!!!!!!
There has been a recent case on this list from someone who got hit with ransomeware and it attacked their IBM i because they had a share on the root directory.
