Another good question is:

What are the other defaults that are changed/undone when the system is
re-installed? updated?

A common concern is what should the standards be regarding documentation
when the defaults have
been modified? HPSWINFO is a good example for HP patches. Is this a
good/acceptable place to
document such tasks? Some system administrators make a point of putting such
tasks in a set of jobs
with comments, but every approach is different.

For examples:
a) Released files (BTW, releasing files is not a good idea, (any user can
purge the file) but it is very common)
b) User segments in the system SL (yes, this is still a frequent issue)
c) Modification of network defaults in NET.SYS
d) CICAT changes for security purposes
e) Octcompted, or NM versions of programs like QUERY, FCOPY ...

Any others?

Mike
