Re: Encrypting a library

I can see those critters from a shared IBM i. They can be deleted and 
renamed if you have the authority to do so.

I tried to dump them or 'type' them but for those type of operations the 
objects appear to be completely missing. You get a 'file not found' error.

I expect that IBM i is in control at that point and the object 
attributes are preventing that sort of action against those objects.
