Bank tellers do log on when they start work. Most of these scenarios
require a unique ID and if they hand over for breaks, they log off and a
relief teller will log on with a different ID.
There is generally a "supervisor" override. It used to be a physical key
they inserted and the teller softwar
For a long time, every State Farm office had an 'unattended VSE' system
running on a PC370/PC390. They were pulled out late '80s / early '90s.
I remember when the number of installed VSE sites took a nose-dive due
to these removals. There was a lot of 'neat' things removed from VSE
afterwards.

A fair question. It's nothing very specific-more just a sense of "How many

z/OS is a server and as such, user counts are often irrelevant. TSO, IMS, Unix

Never thought about any of that. Since COVID this client has a lot more remote
workers (as a contract worker I've been remote for the last decade and a bit
more); does that imply anything? Probably not; Backhoe Bob would mess
something up on the grounds of the HQ itself, and if he brought the
Reasonable. As a security geek, I tend to think of "users" as anyone who has
an ID on the mainframe. If a back end pulls information on its own authority,
then thousands of users can use it and it's still just one (high-volume) ID.
But if, as sometimes happens, the back-end app logs each user
I had an abbreviated contract at State Farm in [checks his records] the spring
of 2006; they hired me as a RACF analyst, so I was all TSO there. No idea
about other platforms. I just remember boggling at them having more than a
hundred LPARs and I forget how many hard-drive units.

I can find out, if I remember to ask: Two of my sons have worked as tellers.
Neither of them happen to be at hand just now, but maybe soon I'll think to ask
one of them.

Fair enough. And what about the tellers? I ask in simple ignorance, never
having been one myself; do they log on to a mainframe ID at the beginning of
their shift?
