Don't share the IFS or make sure you go through proper security set up measures if you want to limit shares and root file access. Same applies to Windows, Linux, Mac, AIX, etc...

Technically I don't think it is IBM's job to big brother what we can open up or lock down.

Maybe a level 6 security could work for that though perhaps, however it would be 10 years by the time it sees light of day.

IBM i.

What do you all think?
