Hi Bruce, 


If you search the archives of this forum you will find some interesting reading 
regarding the use of RACF SPECIAL. 



HTH,

Subject: Is having an OMVS segment on a userid with RACF SPECIAL an issue? 

I seem to recall that in the past adding an OMVS segment to a userid with RACF 
SPECIAL was considered a "no-no." Something to do with the posiibility of the 
userid being "hijacked" thereby allowing access to its SPECIAL attribute. 

Is this still a concern (was it ever?) and if so are there ways to prevent such 
"hijacking"? 

TIA
