I thought disabling QSECOFR was a very bad idea, but I came across a Help
Systems documents recommending the practice.
Is this a practical security measure?
Thanks

Use of QSECOFR
QSECOFR is the first profile hackers will try to abuse if they're randomly
trying to gain access to your systems. Limit the use of QSECOFR to only
system upgrades and, yes, the time when an irresponsible vendor requires
you to sign on to install or upgrade their product. The operating system
will prevent you from setting the QSECOFR password to *NONE, so, to further
protect this profile, set QSECOFR to status of *DISABLED. This requires you
to either sign on to the console to use QSECOFR or set it to status
*ENABLED prior to using it.
