You can wish, but big blue wants backward compatibility, so it is unlikely they will change their algorithms or be open to suggestions when it comes to security. Perhaps IBM updated those algorithms, but did not tell us. Perhaps in a new operating system, yes. ;-D If you don't like RACF, you can always write your own version of RACF + algoritms. :-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
