Re: 250 libraries again (was V3R1 QUSRTOOL, *PRDLOD)

["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The expanded LIBL is great, but why in the world didn't they just add a parm
to RTVJOBA such as USRLIBLFMT and have it default to *SHORT, or something
like that? I though that was the deal with commands and APIs over the years
- they can add new stuff to the end, but they leave the old stuff alone.

I am also not looking forward to the security enhancements in DST. This is
going to do nothing but generate problems for customers. But I guess this is
necessary because you no longer need physical access to the box for DST. Now
that a DST "server" will be accessible via the network card (to support
stupid GUI client Ops Nav crap) you've just blown down the wall of physical
security and have to make up for it elsewhere, like having 128-char,
case-sensitive "passphrases" to get into DST. How about 128
222222222222222222222222222222222222222s ???????? And those are LOWER CASE
22222s!!!!

IMHO only, based on my understanding, fears, and paranoia. I reserve the
right to be wrong at any time!
