I know that UID==0 can do it. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZA590/SHCMDDES.PAX.6 <quote> On the z/OS system, superuser privileges or read access to the appropriate FACILITY class resources are required to create character special files, restore user and group names, and to set certain extended attributes (read access to the corresponding FACILITY class resources). </quote> It doesn't say which. I would guess BPX.SUPERUSER. If nothing else, with BPX.SUPERUSER, the person can do a: su - to which to UID==0 followed by the pax -rf -pe, then back to normal via "exit". su - pe -pe -rvf ... exit -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
