Substitute "minidisk" for "SFS" in the above paragraph and it remains true (sans GRANT AUTH). If you're interested in the LDAP server or in new things coming down the pike, you need BFS and that means operating an SFS server. "Man does not live by minidisk alone." And what's so odd about the GRANT AUTH commands? You can grant authorization to files and directories. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
