We have always used /u/userid for the home directory.

Subject: Prevent FTP from root

We have numerous external clients and on occasion have found that depending on 
what product they use for FTP, their file transfer may in some fashion refer to 
our root directory or potentially the file transfer client being used defaults 
to a root directory.  

In order to prevent such access we're planning to change each userid's OMVS 
segment to have a HOME directory of: /u/userid. (Currently we just use ' / '.)

Anyone know of any gotchas with this plan?

TIA
