In the late 90s I worked for a now defunct Australian electronics retailer, who were also a well-known AS/400 shop. Our stock reports etc would come via email from qsecofr@<domain>.com.au.

The QSECOFR (Security Officer) user is effectively root on OS/400.

I would've thought they would run these jobs as some other user, but apparently not.

Reminds me of that public speaker announcement asking (in American English) a Mr. Peter File to please report to the service desk.

(Not from "Brazil" the film, but Monty Python-originating regardless.)
