Speaking for ourselves - yes. We recently did an exercise to look at the support effort required to maintain our VM system and came to the conclusion that at least 80% was related to local applications and local code function. This in an installation where the primary purpose of VM is to host and support guest (TPF) systems. However, even if we ran no local applications, and only supported guest operating systems, the power of Vm to access data is so great that access really does need to be controlled. We would never consider running VM without an ESM (RACF in our case) and the auditors would skin us alive if we tried. Colin Allinson VM Systems Support Amadeus Data Processing GmbH
