That was sure a very useful script back when automount
did not yet support the allocation of file system data
set. Apart from adding an OMVS segment, automount
can do the rest for you today.

There is no need for this if you define the OMVS and zFS address 
spaces as TRUSTED, which is the recommended way to do it.

The advantage over PERMITting those userids to each and every
file system data set is that the access is bound to the STC name, 
not to the userid. PERMITting OMVSKERN (which is the standard 
userid assigned to the kernel STC) to the file system data sets 
allows the same access to any other programm running under 
OMVSKERN. You may not have such but I know of installations
that are using OMVSKERN for more that only the OMVS STC.

Automount can manage HFS, zFS and NFS file systems (basically every
type of file system that can be handled with mount/unmount). It does
only allocate data sets for HFS and ZFS file systems, however.
