I'm installing z/VM 5.4 with Dirmaint and RACF (and this time
"following the book" as opposed to my own methods).

I did copy the CONFIGRC SAMPDVH as DATADVH and DIRMAINT sees it.  So,
it should have all RACF enablements.

MAINT is defined as a LOGONBY user and is logged on BY BUELENSC.
When I issue DIRM NEEDPASS NO in MAINT, DIRMAINT prompts me for
MAINT's password:
- I'd say it should prompt for BUELENSC's password
  (I am not supposed to know MAINT's password when using LOGONBY)
- So I enter BUELENSC's password and RACF rejects it.  Seems that the query
  DIRMAINT passes to RACF indeed wants indeed an authentication as MAINT:
  OPERATOR gets ICH301I MAXIMUM PASSWORD ATTEMPTS BY SPECIAL USER  MAINT

Is this supposed to work?
