Personally, I think you should and it not a big deal of having userids
defined on both database
When I used to support VM, I have more VM userids then LIUNX guests.
Later on you need to
manage many minidisks... you may need DATAMOVE

To me, it's not about security -- it's about keeping the CP directory and
the RACF database in sync, which DIRMAINT will do with RACF as long as you
leave the suggested user exits in place. I'd suppose that you could
implement manual processes that could ensure the synchronization of both
databases; but they'd be awfullly tedious and error-prone.

Subject: DIRMAINT necessary with RACFVM?
we are activating RACFVM to supply necessary security for our VM systems.
There is some debate as to whether it is worth activating DIRMAINT as well.
We only have a few users who ever update the directory and it is questioned
as to whether the extra complexity of DIRMAINT with its attendant overheads
and possible system fragility is worth the small increment in security it
seems could provide.
Is there a preexisting consensus on this matter?
