Hi Terry - If RACF is installed and controlling links - then the password on the link statement is likely being ignored and is there from pre-RACF days..
Before I ramble on about all the possibilities - you might just want to try this on one of the Linux guests: DET 391 LINK LNXADMIN 191 391 RR If it works -- then no worries.. the password is being ignored. if not - let us know the failure and I can suggest what needs setting up in RACF.
