Leland--In addition to the following suggestions to use logonby is that some time ago, auditors dinged us (them--it was before I arrived on the scene) because the MAINT and other privileged userids had shared passwords. Auditors don't like that. Connect your system programmer type people to a $SYSTEMS group or something like that and PERMIT the $SYSTEMS group to logonby to MAINT and other id's that you would want them to share.

Being new to this RACF on VM thing, I'm a little paranoid about how the MAINT user should be handled in relation to things like password policies.

Mind you, we don't use MAINT all that often, but I'd hate to get myself in a position where I needed it and was unable to use it because the password was revoked or something similar.

How do y'all handle MAINT with RACF. Is it really a major concern or am I just being a fraidy cat?
