Interesting little quirk: I upgraded to V4R4 and started noticing that things were going very SLOOOOWWWWLY, especially when accessing the IFS via Ops Nav or Explorer. So I did a little poking around and found to my surprise that the installation had automagically reset my security level... to 50! Question: Is that normal? And do you have to IPL for a security change to take effect? A little later I ran my HTTP server and tried to run WAS1.1. After fixing my config to use library APPSVR instead of HTTPSVR, everything ran just fine up until the point where normally the JSP would be compiled (that is, converted to a servlet and THEN compiled, in the pagecompile folder under the servlets folder). Much to my surprise, I couldn't access the folder. In fact, in Explorer it looked as if it were gone. Why oh why? Well, it turns out that while the servlets directory has *RX authority for *PUBLIC, and *RWX for QSYS, while the pagecompile directory has both of those as WELL as *RWX for QTMHTTP. Interesting, eh? The one with MORE access is unaccessible. Well, I took off the QTMHTTP authority, and that didn't change diddly. Question: Anybody run into anything like this? Anybody know what gives Explorer authority and what doesn't? Oh well, enough for one night... Joe

Joe, I can answer one of your questions: yes, you do have to IPL before a new security level takes effect. If you change a system value through WRKSYSVAL, and get help when you're actually in the change screen, it tells you when the change will take effect.

I figured that was the case, Barbara. The good news is that my little 150 reboots pretty quickly. I hope to have more luck this weekend. Joe
