The SYSTEM CONFIG is used only at IPL time. Your changes to it will not take effect until the next IPL.
There are other commands you can use to remove them from the system. DETACH devlist SYSTEM VARY OFF devlist And, depending on what you mean by remove them from the system, possibly VARY OFF PATH path FROM devlist VARY OFF CHPID chp The DIREXTXA command only affects the User Directory and has nothing to do with the SYSTEM CONFIG.

I've removed the users(linux boxes), removed the devices from $alloc. I = then did a directxa user. I also removed the devices form the sys config file. I then gave the conf= ig back to cp. But when I do a q dasd I still see them in the list. What am I missing?????????? thanks Mace
