Doug - Good deal -- feel free to contact me if you have any questions, etc -- I've been around DIRMAINT a long time and even wrote an admin front end around it that did RACF stuff as well - many years ago ...
It really can help - it helps automate creation of new guests if you're interested in that.. makes DASD management simpler if you make good use of groups and does have a simplistic RACF interface you can make use of if you use RACF for security.. In the end - the directory is a simple flat file, so DIRMAINT often seems like overkill to some sysprogs.. but it can help free you from being the only guy who can make directory changes without breaking something.
