A library's CRTOBJAUD setting should be honored for CRTDUPOBJ adding to the library.

This closes a security hole.    The library's CRTOBJAUD setting is used to assure that objects created within the library have the auditing desired.    However, CRTDUPOBJ will put an object into a library and the auditing is based on the source object's auditing setting.   This allows an object to be created in a library and 'fly under the radar' for what was desired.

    CRTDUPOBJ has a different purpose than other CRTxxx commands or CPYxxx commands. It is intended to create a duplicate object that has the same object audit and authority values, including *PUBLIC and private authorities.

    The help text for the command states that the CRTAUT value for the to-library is not used. It should also state that the CRTOBJAUD value for the to-library is not used. The help text will be fixed in a future release.

    The command is working as designed and intended. IBM has no plans to pursue this change.
