If you can get logged onto a z/OS system with FTP you are 99% of the way to hacker nirvana anyway. The ability to submit TSO commands would be no more of a threat than the ability to retrieve files (RACF password database anyone?), run shell commands, or run batch jobs. It could be protected with a SAF profile. Perhaps I need to clarify: "by clever hack" I did not mean some defeat of the Statement of Integrity. I meant something clever along the lines of what Gil suggested, "you can run a shell command, and from there you can run a TSO command by blah blah."
