Re: ifs security and qpwfserver autl change gotchas?

Personally, I can't think of a legitimate reason to do it. I consider it a
hack.

Sharing the root is considered a huge security threat. Consider ransonware
that runs on a PC and encrypts then deletes files on SMB shares. The
encrypt will fail on native IBMi objects but the delete will succeed.

Yes, but " By setting Public authority on the QPWFSERVER AUTL to

Emphasizing my limited knowledge, is there any point in accessing QSYS.LIB
by "remote" means, like a network share? The objects there are special, no
stream files. I guess, there's nothing within Windows can cope with.

:wq! PoC
