>Thoughts? My first thought was, "Sure, of course". My second thought was, "Well...maybe, but I bet some of the tight-security folks wouldn't like it". My third thought was, "Just make the controlling user SECUSER"...but then I realized how painful that is for the controlling user to get any work done, as random console output appears from the n controllees. My fourth and final thought (ON THIS TOPIC) was "How about another card -- CONTROL <user1 <user2 <user3... <usern>>>> that would allow all of these for user1 through usern? As z/VM evolves from an end-user environment to a guest host environment (evolves? reverts?), things like this make more and more sense. And would certainly continue the tradition of native, granular control, which some Other Operating Systems don't seem to "get"... ...phsiii
