If you are happy with a batch process and do not need real time
processing of individual profiles being added and updated throughout
the day, need to look up the SAVSECDTA, RSTUSRPRF, and RSTAUT
commands.

With SAVSECDTA you can save all the profiles and their security info
to a save file then distribute that file to all partitions and then
use the restore commands to bring everything up to date.

With a lot more work, my team built a real time system, but issues
such as user entered password changes require a lot of explaining. If
you need that let me know in a follow up post and I will send you my
real e-mail address.

Thanks Mike,

I think the batch option is going to be ok and I can get my head
around it. There's restrictions on this if *ALL is used, right? You'd
have to code a loop to do the users one at a time?

Does your real time option use exit points? That could work for us.
I'm not so concerned about password changes. My main interest is that
if a user is added on the master machine that it be created
identically on the other machines, and if the profile is disabled that
this also happen on the other machines. Should this be straight-
forward with exit points?

Cheers
JohnO

I love this newsgroup!
