DIRMAINT is a directory manager, RACF is a security manager. While the two work together, they are not interchangeable.
Even in a system where I am the only one making changes to the directory, I prefer to turn DIRMAINT on to make it easier for me to make changes to the directory entries. /Tom Kern Andy Robertson wrote: > we are activating RACFVM to supply necessary security for our VM systems. > > There is some debate as to whether it is worth activating DIRMAINT as well. > > We only have a few users who ever update the directory and it is questioned > as to whether the extra complexity of DIRMAINT with its attendant overheads > and possible system fragility is worth the small increment in security it > seems could provide. > > Is there a preexisting consensus on this matter? > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
