You should join the RACF Group and ask this question. That group could be more helpful.
Second, go to Robert Hansel's website. He has many RACF Papers that may help. http://www.rshconsulting.com/racfres.htm I would also review the following SHARE presentation as well https://share.confex.com/share/121/webprogram/Session13846.html And the z/OS V2.1 Migration Guide http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/e0z2m192.pdf Section: z/OS UNIX actions to perform before installing z/OS V2R1 Use the BPX.UNIQUE.USER profile instead of BPX.DEFAULT.USER Description : Before z/OS V1R11, if the BPX.DEFAULT.USER profile in the FACILITY class was defined, users who accessed z/OS UNIX services who did not have an OMVS user or group segment were assigned the default OMVS segments for the length of the user session. All users of the default OMVS segments shared the same UID and GID. As of z/OS V1R11, if BPX.UNIQUE.USER has been defined, users who access z/OS UNIX services who do not have an OMVS user or group segment are automatically assigned an OMVS segment with a unique UID and GID. The new OMVS segments are added to the user and group profiles in the RACF database. As of z/OS V2R1 BPX.DEFAULT.USER has been removed. You may need IBM's assistance because of the shared downward leveled systems, to make it work in your shop. So if you are sharing with z/OS V1.13 and V1.12, then you should be able to do what you need in z/OS V2.1 and convert your lower level systems to use the same process. I am not sure if z/OS V2.1 has some STCs that require an OMVS segment or not. The OSMPD may require a valid OMVS Segment. Check the V2.1 Communication Server manuals or the RACF manuals.
