Gave READ and EXECUTE to shared directory to a userid
Userid not in AUTHL
Yesterday, with the above, user could SEE each of the files in the shared directory but could not look at the contents
Today, I ran my REXX EXEC that RMVLNK to get rid of all files in shared directory and repopulate with new files via FTP and MGET.
Today, user can SEE and READ all files in shared directory whereas yesterday they could not

I"m puzzled... the AUTHL doesn't seem to be needed

Dave:

Minor note... It wouldn't be that an *AUTL is "needed" as much as one can be a useful way to specify and manage authorities.

E.g., changing authorities directly on an object can require an exclusive lock; but if the authorities are specified in an *AUTL, the *AUTL authorities can be changed even while the object itself is in use.

And of course, *AUTLs can help with IFS authority management. It can be done without them -- it simply can be easier with them.
