An interesting idea and I like the simplicity part of it - but I've yet to meet a RACF admin willing to give me that kind of access to his/her database. But then to be fair, I won't let them muck around in my pond either. ;o) ddk
//////////////////////////////////////////// Not necessarily, though. The RACF administrator can delegate all the DFP segment authority to the storage administrators. Then you have the flexibility of using the DFP segments for the simple cases, but using ACS routines for more complex cases. Of course, then the storage administrators need to learn a little about RACF. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ************************************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
