I wouldn't define a user to VM unless the person has some reason to logon to VM. However, local politics may dictate what you do.
MAINT: MAINT is the "superuser" (su) for VM. I wouldn't set up anybody with the same credentials as MAINT. Ok, maybe a couple, just in case MAINT gets locked up, but definitely don't distribute the passwords! ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin, Terry R.

I have set up z/VM for this POC and have come a rather long way in a few months. I have an administrative question in terms of z/VM. Now that I got VM up and stable I am getting requests from the z/OS system folks to have user ids created. From what I can tell it does not seem to make much sense in the VM world to have everyone with a user id, because frankly not sure what must folks would do with them. In order to come up with a user that for instance has MAINT power I would need to basically duplicate MAINT correct? Anyway, do you normally set up VM like TSO on z/VM, that is have all of these user ids out there?
