Dream on. The TCB is key zero (LSQA) so you need to be in key zero to modify it. BUT! TCBUSER is one of the all time bad ideas, along with CVTUSER. You could never count on being "the user" so you could never be sure you had the right to store/replace whateever was there. And since everyone is in the same boat nobody uses it. If you're looking for a place to hang things, use name/token services.
