I couldn't remember what DSMON was, so I looked it up on ASK.COM. I keep
seeing ads for ASK.COM whenever I watch Nascar races, as one of the cars has
ASK.COM as a sponser. The first hit had a good explanation, and now I
remember just what it was.
I don't know if DSMON(ICHDSM00) was protected or not, however it don't
matter no more, as the datacenter has been gone for over 3 years now. I'm
sure the guy that did the audit would have had me protect DSMON if it wasn't
under RACF control, as he was very good. I was going to say I still can't
think of the tool that I used to audit RACF, but then I decided to do a
search. Neither google or Ask.com came up with the company, but I saw
Vanguard in the explanation of one of the hits, and I remembered the name of
the product. (Getting old is hell). The tool was Vanguard Administrator,

DSMON.
*Free* (part of z/OS with RACF).
Shows several reports including protection of "important" datasets.
Hopefully DSMON (ICHDSM00) is program protected since it does show
security related information. I'm not even allowed to run it in some
of our environments.
Health Checker RACF_SENSITIVE_RESOURCES check helps.
