The auditors at my client have told the admins that QALWOBJRST needs to be
set to *ALWPTF because *ALL is a security risk. Is *ALL really a security
risk?



My argument for *ALWPGMADP is that if someone restores a program that adopts
authority and they do not have access to the owner profile, during the
restore the OS changes the owner to QDFTOWNER (or something like that) which
does not have any authority so who cares if it adopts its authority.



The other options (*ALWSYSSTT, *ALWSETUID, *ALWSETGID, *ALWVLDERR) I don't
really know what these are so I can't intelligently speak about them. Thus,
I am turning to the knowledgeable people of this group.



So, is there a good reason to not have *ALL?
