Will running with that for some period of time, then removing it 
be okay since the value is saved in the profile?  Or doesn't that affect
the profile setting?   If it does, then (educated) users can turn it on when
needed and then off again.  

I had the same issue with operlog years ago and I wanted the LOG command
to always default to syslog. By the time we implemented OPERLOG, it was
already too late since the default was "operlog if active" and already saved in
everyone's profile.  Besides the performance issues when sdsf operlog 
support came around, we also protected the logstream which would cause
an error like "no records found" when people issued the log command and
were not authorized for the logstream.   So to this day I have the code
in the ISFUSER exit but could probably get rid of the exit if all the profiles
were updated via the exit (the  SDSF parms were also updated years ago
to make SYSLOG the default for new profiles).    I probably tested this
all way back then, but I can't remember the results (as far as the
profile being updated to what I forced in the exit).
