z/OS UNIX System Services provides a full set of UNIX capabilities to z/OS. It can be configured to be fully POSIX compliant if that is what is desired... however, be aware, UNIX in this raw form does not adhere to the levels of security controls in the rest of z/OS. Therefore, z/OS UNIX provides a significant set of extra controls to restrict, limit, and divide authorities, to provide a highly secure UINX environment. This presentation will discuss the recommended best practices for z/OS UNIX security.-Vivian Morabito-IBM Corporation
