How would one go about that? The IBM Tivoli zSecure Admin product can clone users for you. Alternatively, you can get the DBSYNC tool from the RACF Downloads page at http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/racf/goodies.html and with a bit of work it can do what you want. It will take as input the flat file generated by IRRDBU00, and then generate commands to recreate the database. From those commands, you could select all the commands that reference the existing user ID, and then change the ID to a new one, and run the commands. Then you'd have a user just like the original one, except for the password that you'd have to specify. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
