The owner is QSECOFR and *PUBLIC is set to *EXCLUDE. I have a validation list set for these libraries with the user profiles needing access. When I sign on as a user who is not in the access list and is *USER, I can still do a runqry to access the files in these libraries. When I check the object authority for the library using that profile, it lists *ADOPT *ALL.

The teens hacked into an account at an auction Web site and went wild -- like geeks in a computer store. They bought small planes, patents, industrial machinery, restaurants and artwork, with money they didn't even begin to have. German authorities are looking into the spree. The kids said they did it because they were bored. Recent missing link stories you may enjoy. Update your subscriptions Select newsletters you would like to receive from the list below.
