Just wing it and sling it.
Put the option on and reinstall the cume and groups.

There's a difference between
- just installing it
- installing it and using some of the stuff it provides (DIG, etc)
- installing it and actually using it to be another of your

Thanks guys!

IMO your original alluded concerns are worth consideration; esp. for a production system. Of course with any new software comes new security considerations, for whatever that newly installed feature provides. For example, maybe not every user profile with *IOSYSCFG should be allowed to CHGDNSA or perhaps all of *PUBLIC should not be able to perform NSLOOKUP [aka Start DNS Query (STRDNSQRY)] activity.? Beyond *CMD objects, publicly authorized User-Domain programs may also require authority controls. Beyond simply authorities, there may be /function usage/ settings [Work with Function Usage (WRKFCNUSG)] or /registration information/ [Work with Registration Information (WRKREGINF)] for which exit programs might best be implemented. Then for any customization, be sure to implement them in the System Change Management to ensure the modifications are re-applied after an upgrade [and possibly after maintenance to the sfw feature\LPP]. A "wing it and sling it" may not be the best approach for a production system.?
