RE: Help with z/VM 5.3 Evaluation Edition

To manage a handful of users in z/VM with Dirmaint is utter Bollox.

"In the old days all you'd do is edit the USER DIRECT and issue the DIRECT
command.. " is the way to go.


Forget about Dirmaint - bloated and in your case unnecessary.




=> Thanks for the non-help, Dave.  :)
=>
=> (Relax! It's not your fault!)
=>
=> I downloaded all the manuals I thought I'd need, including:
=>
=> SC24-6135-03 zVM V5R3.0 Directory Maintenance Facility Tailoring and
=> Administration Guide
=> SC24-6133-04 zVM V5R3.0 Directory Maintenance Facility Commands Reference
=> GC24-6134-03 zVM V5R3.0 Directory Maintenance Facility Messages
=>
=> But I'm not about to wade through 250+ pages of DIRMAINT commands just to
=> figure out how to add a fricking user.
=>
=> In the old days all you'd do is edit the USER DIRECT and issue the DIRECT
=> command and voila! Done!
=>
=> This DIRMAINT stuff is new to me and I'm completely lost!
=>
=> I need some sort of "Newbie's Tutorial" or something. An example session
=> that walks me through step by step how to do it.
=>
=> Is there such a thing? I googled but couldn't find anything.
=>
=> This is so frustrating! I know what I need to do!
=>
=> But this "New and Improved!" DIRMAINT way of doing things, while certainly
=> new, is most definitely NOT improved. (*)
=>
=> HELP!  :))

=> somewhat riskier old fashioned method.
