Now that CAMASTER has become a mandatory address space, I am asking myself how 
that address is actually started. The CA documentation makes it sound as if it 
were magic that starts it, but I don't believe in magic. There are knowledge 
base articles out there that say that starting CAMASTER at the SSI is too late 
(which makes sense, especially if a customer uses TSS or ACF2 for security). I 
would still like to know *how* it is started. Is IBM checking for the presence 
of certain modules in lpa and then start it during MSI? Does anyone know? 

What I dislike is also the fact that CA states that absolutely no security 
definitions are required, since the address space is TRUSTED. Sounds like they 
give themselves the TRUSTED attribute, since no entry in STARTED is required 
and my default userid without any rights for non-defined STCs was not taken. 
The address space has all kinds of priviledges via SCHEDxx and is obviously APF 
authorized.
