Not if you count the hours of swearing at RACF required to get it to do
simple stuff, or the time it takes to chase down why some simple
operation doesn't work properly because you forgot to issue some obscure
command to let it work right.

RACF does the job, but there's a reason why the RACF admins are the
people who live in cubes in shadowy corners that constantly mutter to
themselves in the cafeteria.

post-login, but I don't think she actually plugged it into the CP
authentication loop.
