Patrik,
This is a tough one, because SNA "security" was never really "integrated" into OS/400, instead it uses the mainframe notion of an 8-character userID and an 8-character system name.
So, IBM added the somewhat kludgey "SNA directory" that you see with WRKDIRE et al ... that allows you to "map" an 8/8 name pair to a 10-character user profile name in OS/400.
So, if you do not have a WRKDIRE directory entry, you cannot use SNA at all on OS/400. :-o (aka. the SNADS directory, also used for OfficeVision, another product "ported" from the mainframe world, known as "PROFS".)
Even then, the SNA "security" really only pertains to stuff you can do "on the network" once connected. You still need things like "use" authority to things like the *CTLD and *DEVDs etc.
Not sure if that really helps you or not ... :-/

Hello,
I want to learn about securing systems networked via SNA (be it 802.2/5 DLC or EE). One example: Machine a can run SAVRST against machine b, and the started job on b (also) runs as QSYSOPR! In which of the countless IBM manuals should I take a look to learn about the important knobs and switches?
What's available online mostly deals with TCP/IP. As most often, my background is V4R5 and old machinery.
Thanks!
