Ray,

Sorry, I meant that for LNXADMIN (the sysadmin's Linux on each member
LPAR), not LNXMAINT (the CMS machine designed for a common 191 disk on all
Linux virtual machines).
If you make LNXMAINT an IDENTITY, you will have to maintain four common
disks, not just one. Why make things more complex?
I would recommend going back to the original USER directory entry. If you
are getting an error on the other members, post the error message(s) here
and we'll figure it out.
