Of course, thanks for the reminder. ;-) >The suggestions I've seen so far in this thread would also assign passwords to PROTECTED user IDs (those that do not have a password already) and that is probably not what you want. I should have stated why I suggested using REXX above ICETOOL to process IRRDBU00's output. My REXX programs could handle different groups and ids based on naming standards, group connections, status of ids (PROTECTED, RESTRICTED, Revoked, Last-Used field = blank or same as creation date, etc.) Basically 'white listed' ids are placed with the ALU and/or PERMIT commands plus correct set of keywords needed. Rejected ids are placed in other output with a comment why they were skipped. The posted excellent ICETOOL example (without Step S3!) is handy for a small subset of ids where you know your ids.
