Dear Group,

We are running z/OS V1R8. In the *NIX world may things require root access. The easy path was just make everybody a UID of 0. We are trying not
to do that with my userid.
However without being a superuser all I see from my ps -ef is this:

SY4019:/SYSTEM/ etc: >ps -ef
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
SY4019 50331802 1 - 13:04:13 ? 0:03 OMVS
SY4019 83886258 50331802 - 16:07:53 ttyp0000 0:03 -sh
SY4019 67109053 83886258 - 17:42:48 ttyp0000 0:00 ps -ef
SY4019:/SYSTEM/ etc: >

I read the System Services Command Reference about ps and it says I will only see those processes "the user" has approriate privileges to access.
It goes on to say it will support a list of users with the -U option. I did not see an /etc/shadow file on the system that would have alist of all
users. I typed in sudo, but got: "sudo: FSUM7351 not found".

Q). What solutions have the rest of you come up with to use a non-superuser ID in Openedition and still be able to get anything done?

Thank you, Dave H.
