I sincerely doubt RACF will ever allow passwords shorter than 9. They are too weak, unless the site has a new password phrase exit to apply some rules regarding allowable character content. It probably will someday allow a z/OS user to have a password phrase but no password. RACF on z/VM already allows that, and did from the beginning of its password phrase support if I remember correctly. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
