Unix ID command and username value

We have a system where two RACF userids are defined with the same uid. (This is deliberate and is intended to simplify access using NFS and other OS.) My question is about the username value that is displayed in response to the id command (and as file owner). The same applies to use of

I've had it change on occasion. But it may well have been done due to my messing around with RACF definitions. I don't remember ever reading in the books about how this is determined. Which would make it unspecified and so subject to change without notice. I.e. a PTF might change how RACF did the

The short answer is that since the rules are not clearly stated anywhere and may be subject to change outside your control, you have to assume that any userid defined in RACF with that same UID might be returned in response to a UNIX-context query for that UID. That the userid returned for a

Do you mean not using SDSF REXX interface? If so, if you have the exit IKJEFT10 in place to allow a user to display any job, there is a TSO command to list jobs on the queue. STATUS allows you to display your jobs so long as it is your userid plus 1 character. That is why you may need to

If your RACF data base is at AIM 3 (strongly recommended), then RACF itself enforces a unique UID on RACF user ids and unique a GID on RACF group ids. But it will allow duplicates if the SHARED parameter is specified on the ADDUSER/ADDGROUP command. On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 9:15 AM, Paul Gilmartin
