ATTENTION!  ATTENTION!  ATTENTION!
INTRUDER ALERT -- INTRUDER ALERT -- INTRUDER ALERT
THE SYSTEM ACCESS LOG HAS BEEN DESTROYED
COMPANY POLICY REQUIRES THAT ALL ACCESS LOGS BE MAINTAINED FOR 180 DAYS
BOLO ROGUE SYSTEM PROGRAMMER / APPROACH WITH CAUTION
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
AUTHENTICATION CODE: 1A2A2BC000

Needless to say, the wanton destruction of system access records without 
management approval is a Bad Idea.  That's the whole point of RACFSMF. 
Before you erase the files, archive them.

I suggest an encrypted tape drive, of course.  :-)
