Hi, it's the RACF newbie again.
RACF has been running fine for us and went in without a hitch thanks to
all of y'all.
But, because we have nothing better to do, we've been sitting around
trying to think of scenarios that we "may" come up against in the future
and we want to be able to "recover" from them.
Here's one of 'em:
We have removed the password from MAINT and the 2 of us sysprog wannabes
have setup RACF to allow us to LOGONBY to MAINT. Works beautifully.
But, what would happen if some malicious individual decided to attempt
sufficient invalid logons to cause us our IDs to be revoked. How would
we ever get back to MAINT? Now, add in the security admins ID to the
mix. Then what?
Also, any war stories about getting into a situation where no one could
log on due to RACF being unavailable? Should we be concerned about a
case like this? What recovery is possible?
Okay, okay...so we're a couple of paranoid sysprog wannabes...I knew I
shouldn't have smoked those alternative cigarettes when I was younger. :-)
Thanks much,
Leland
