This document describes the security setup IBM recommends for the supplied profiles
Resolving The Problem
IBM does not recommend disabling any IBM-supplied user profiles for security purposes. The recommended method for addressing security issues is to set the user password to *NONE. This will stop any signon usage of the profile itself while still making the profile accessible for any system use.
Appendix B of the Security Reference Manual has a table that has the standard default values for some of the IBM profiles. Following that table is a set of descriptions of what is different from the standard set of defaults for each of the various IBM profiles.

NOTE: Most IBM shipped profiles are locked down and cannot be changed. Message CPD680B will be encountered when trying to change the profile.
