Radoslaw,
There is a simple solution to resolving the -stop db2 issue.  Don't allow
people who have no business accessing a console, be it via a real console,
an EMCS console (including SDSF) or any other approach.

Wayne,
it is a joke, yes ?
Otherwise:
I'm aware that I can disallow people to use any console. I can also disallow them to use any mainframe connection, and - if there is no business case - I can switch off the mainframe - in that case everything will be very secure. We call it "binary security". You have access to all or nothing. Simple rule. But seriously: I have business reasons to allow some folks to issue DISPLAY (and some MODIFY) commands. I can filter the commands very precisely, for example I can allow to F CICSA, but not CICSB. However *every* person having such (limited) access is also able to blow up our DB2 subsystem.
