Or another Technique could be to use the CVTUSER field.  Zap it with a Usermod
to include the RSU with your live system
00D4  212 Signed       4 CVTUSER        - FIELD AVAILABLE TO USER

Thought I do like the SYMBOLS option, but it is way too easy to change.  Zapping
the CVTUSER would take more effort and the USERMOD would remind you to do it.
