<h1 class="topictitle1">Monitor subsystem descriptions</h1>
<div><p>This article provides suggestions for reviewing the subsystem descriptions
that currently exist on your system. </p>
<p>When you start a subsystem on a server, the system creates an environment
for work to enter the system and run. A subsystem description defines what
that environment looks like. Subsystem descriptions, therefore, can provide
an opportunity for devious users. A mischief-maker might use a subsystem description
to start a program automatically or to make it possible to sign on without
a user profile. </p>
<p>When you run the Revoke Public Authority (<span class="cmdname">RVKPUBAUT</span>)
command, the system sets public authority to subsystem description commands
to *EXCLUDE. This prevents users who are not specifically authorized (and
who do not have *ALLOBJ special authority) from changing or creating subsystem
descriptions. </p>
<p>You can use the Work with Subsystem Descriptions (<span class="cmdname">WRKSBSD</span>)
command to create a list of all the subsystem descriptions. When you select <span class="uicontrol">5 </span>(Display)
from the list, a menu displays for the system description that you selected.
It shows a list of the parts of a subsystem environment.</p>
<p>You select options to see details about the parts. Use the Change Subsystem
Description (<span class="cmdname">CHGSBSD</span>) command to change the first two items
on the menu. To change other items, use the appropriate add, remove, or change
command for the entry type. For example, to change a workstation entry, use
the Change Workstation Entry (<span class="cmdname">CHGWSE</span>) command. </p>
<p>For additional information about working with subsystem descriptions, including
lists of the shipped values for IBM-supplied subsystem descriptions, refer
to the topic: <a href="../rzaks/rzaks1.htm">Work
Management</a>.</p>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevautostart.htm">Review autostart job entries</a></strong><br />
Look at your autostart job entries and the associated job descriptions. Ensure that you understand the function of any program that runs automatically when a subsystem starts.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevworkstation.htm">Review workstation names and types</a></strong><br />
Look at your workstation entries and the associated job descriptions. Ensure that no one has added or updated any entries to run programs that you are not aware of.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevjobqueue.htm">Review job queue entries</a></strong><br />
You should periodically review the job queue entries in your subsystem descriptions to ensure that batch jobs are running where you expect them to run.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevrouting.htm">Review routing entries</a></strong><br />
Look at the routing entries and ensure that no one has added or updated any entries to run programs that you are not aware of.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevcomm.htm">Review communications entries and remote location names</a></strong><br />
Ensure that the communications entries are secure.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevprestart.htm">Review prestart job entries</a></strong><br />
You should make sure that prestart job entries perform only authorized, intended functions.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzamvrevjobdesc.htm">Review job descriptions</a></strong><br />
You should periodically review job descriptions to make sure that they do not run unintended programs. Use object authority to prevent changes to job descriptions.</li>
