RE: Prevent User Profile from using public authority

Charles,

Rather than risk hosing something else on your box by trying to create a
"replacement *PUBLIC profile" or even just trying to hit every object on
your box, it seems to me it would be a lot easier to use an exit program for
the ODBC/JDBC remote transactions.  

There are several exit program security products out there, but only one
that I know of can afford 'pinpoint' accuracy with regard to controlling
access via the exit point without having to modify any existing OS/400
object authorities or user profile groupings.

Contact me offline if you would like more details.
