Ron--I'd be happy to do that if it worked. I tried, however, from my id
that DIRMAINT accepted, and issued the command DIRM FOR MAINT NEEDPASS
NO and nothing happened. I would think that it should work, but that
does not do the job.

Jim,
Couldn't you use the "big hammer" approach and update the needpass
value for all your user admin people from someone who can, like MAINT?
A list of the users combined with enough EXEC DIRMAINT commands in one
exec, run it and go on to something else?
I recall having to do that for a different option that changed changed
its default value between DIRMAINT on VM/ESA and DIRMAINT on z/VM 4.4.

I'm still having problems with NEEDPASS. I have every id that acts as
an admin to the directory or as a system support person listed as
authorized for every DIRMAINT command in AUTHFOR CONTROL. I don't see
Kris's connection in his posting re: the 1x0CMDS file. The
authorization level required for each command is included in the AUTHFOR
file for each user. I tried just editing the DVHOPT entry for an id
that was included in AUTHFOR and changing the record to specify NPW0.
Even after restarting DIRMAINT on that test system, I had to still enter
the DIRM NEEDPASS NO on that id to be able to do a DIRM FOR /userid / GET.
I would like to be able to switch to the z/VM 5.3 level of DIRMAINT
without having to try to explain to the userid admin people that before
that can do something to the directory, they have to issue the DIRM
NEEDPASS NO command from their own userid.
