Hi Lionel, (cross-posted IBM-MAIN and MVS-OE) Here are a couple of things to keep in mind.
1) I've found it necessary to specify the path as /* with the find command. 2) Check the extended ACLs too if there are any. find path -acl_nouser find path -acl_nogroup 3) As an alternative to the find command, consider using IBM's IRRHFSU utility for this task. Our presentation on this utility, which includes a sample ICETOOL job for this very task, is available on our website. http://www.rshconsulting.com/racfres.htm 4) If there is a USERID assigned an Owner or ACL UID, but the USERID's Default Group does not have a GID, find will consider the UID as being unassigned. Same with the ls command and IRRHFSU. Verify a UID is truly unassigned before changing it. 2) If this is a RACF installation, to avoid an SMF tsunami do not execute find or IRRHFSU for the entire file system with a USERID having the UAUDIT attribute.
