Thanks a lot - i will try out and see how many users on PUB400 can take advantage of this.
Most of them live in their QSYS.LIB and doing the „old style“ - using RPG and co.

(we do not watch what they’re doing, but most of them don’t know much about PASE)

This brings up a kind of interesting question for chroot on IBM i:

Is chroot more of a *PASE* thing or an *IFS* thing?

I would think it has to be a PASE thing. If you're on the native i
side, will chroot be able to restrict your access to the IFS root
directory?
