UNIX USS for RACF Administrators

: If you are a RACF administrator who doesn't administer USS security too, this course is a must. Now that IBM gives us USS (UNIX under MVS, also known as OMVS) for free with MVS, RACF administrators need to know how to administer USS security. This means learning UNIX security administration, and understanding how USS works with RACF. Securing USS is essential to securing TCP/ IP on the mainframe, as well as the Websphere web server software.
