One of the best place to learn the AS/400 security fundamentals. A recommendation to anyone who wants to implement security.

If you are looking for a book to use for securing the AS400 or Auditing the security you have just found it.
Recommended for all readers. Easy to read langauge. if you have not purchased the third edition, then go the 4th edition. It is better and improved.

These comments are based on the 3rd edition, 1998. I think that one of the biggest pluses is that Madden and Woodbury really know their stuff! They provide a logical progression of information to assist you in building a security strategy for AS/400 implementation. Most all the features are presented in terms of concepts and practical applications. The reader can take this book, start at the beginning or read sections, include the information in a plan, and sit down and do it! There are very good explanations and diagrams for the concepts in this book. Many of the remarked sample programs have the printed code for you to review and ponder. In retrospect, I have highlighted hundreds of keywords, bookmarked several sections that are "must do", and so this book travels with me to any site where security is a priority!
