I would like it to go a step further, like with some linux installations
that ask for a root password and another userid to be added. I like
having ALL system related userids be AUTOONLY, LBYONLY, NOLOG or have a
randomly generated password. All userids that need to actually need to
be logged onto must have a LOGONBY record authorizing that initial
sysprog userid. After that initial setup, it isn't hard to replace the
passwords for those users that need to logged on. No one ever really
needs the password to those accounts if properly LOGONBY authorized.
That random password could be randomized daily, until you can properly
divide all accounts into the proper AUTOONLY, LBYONLY, NOLOG or personal
password categories.

Hi Alan;
Given that the starting CP Directory is dynamically created, for the most
part, today, how hard would it be to allow the installer to select a
"root
password" to be applied to all of the initial accounts?
I'll go one step further: how about a default of all userids except
MAINT, OPERATOR, and CMSUSER (does that still ship on fresh system?)
being LBYONLY, defaulting to MAINT as the user who can do LOGONBY.
Anyone who wants a different LOGONBY user (or additional users) should
know which trivial XEDIT command will change that.
