Re: IBM I 720 - no access mystery

At a prior employer, there were alot more *ALLOBJ users than there should
have been...

Shortly after I started, somebody at a remote location did a ENDTCP...

Luckily I was located with the server and shortly afterwards got the ok to
remove *ALLOBJ from most of the users that should not have had it. :)

I recently ran into a "business partner" that thinks giving all users
*ALLOBJ and then allowing them to have access to command line is a good
way to run things. "We've never had any problems...."

Oy...

Back in the early 90's at an Austin client, the system shut down

suddenly one day. After getting it running again, I assisted the system
operator investigate what happened.

It seems that the system administrator (who had no formal AS/400

training) had given all users (who were also AS/400 ignorant) the initial
menu MAIN. One of them had negotiated his way to the SYSTEM menu and
selected option 60 (More system task options) and on the SYSTEM2 menu had
selected option 80 (Power off the system).

Our IBM I 720 basically shut down yesterday for no apparent reason.
All users and jobs stopped.
We couldn't log on to the system system by any method including console

from ACS.

We finally did a control panel shut down and re-IPLed the system.
All has running normally since.
Nothing in WRKPRB, SST PAL, or SST SAL.
Never seen anything like this before.

Ideas?
