Since it looks like SAF is out, and you simply need a VM Directory Maintenance product - I suggest you look at VM:Secure from Computer associates. It's a thousand times better than DIRMAINT.

The Systems Administration Facility (SAF) is the z/VM "compatibility mode" for customers who were using the Virtual Image Facility (VIF) product. It is *not* a replacement for DirMaint. If you were not previously using VIF, then I do NOT recommend that you use SAF. While it makes the system easier to administer, it has a lot of limitations that will frustrate you. Use DirMaint.
