No, VM:Account needs a R/O link only. It does not do direct updating of the object directory. It just needs to be able to read it.

I have defined a read-only link to MAINT's 123 disk (540RES) where the user directory is located, but it appears as OS formatted and not CMS to the VMACCT machine. I've tried linking instead to DirMaint's 123 link and got the same result. I'm not sure I understand why it's appearing that way and how to present it to VMACCT so it can read the user directory. Thanks in advance, Dave
