I can tell you that my newbies (formerly z/OS guys) that I have working for me did not find it all that easy to add one to the current VM we are installing. And I wasn't all that able to answer their questions even having 20 years of VM experience but not that much ESM stuff (someone else always did it :).. Luckily Kitty and Fran at CA are great hand holders and know their stuff... But it sure could be made easier for the new folks. I shouldn't complain... pam-modules are giving me more headaches than VM stuff ever will (the latest being pam_tally.so not liking large uid's) I think I started this whole long thread by asking what for? My question is was more along the lines what would a *finanical services firm* like mine or Rick's (who got so excited :) would do with this. Here, anyway, it's more about what our vendors can provide to us or what we can do easily with rexx/pipelines/etc to enhance our productivity. We're too busy building/maintaining servers and answering audit/security to think of cool things like interfacing to VM's spool :) Marcy Cortes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
