This is not limited to STCUSER. E.g. job schedulers. Revoked is not the only security issue. E.g. at least one person knows this password on a userid that can't be disabled. Chances are if it's a group userid, then the group may know the password. Best practices dictate that passwords only be provided when a userid will be used by a specific person and that person needs a password for that userid. All other userids should never have a password. You don't want people ignoring security because it's inconvenient. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
