Hi Jim & Mark :)
   Possible idea to explore:

    UDC/Command file replacement for stream command that creates your
audit trail for each and every job launch by all users whether they
should be doing it or not...You could have the UDC/command file/script
write out the information about the job being streamed and who is doing
it and when to both a log file of sorts *AND* the console...

    I did this with several programs (IOBOF, GOD, etc)in a former life
so that when a user other than the "command staff of the 3k" tried to
execute them... The Console printed a record of who, what where and when
and if they succeeded... If this was done outside of certain time
periods ... I got a page from the system with a specific numeric value.

    Was very funny (in a sick, paranoid, grim way ... I know I am a sick
puppy hehehe) when I narrowed down who was trying to use the GOD program
since we didn't have it!!! ... We had IOBOFX or whatever SRN named their
Nugget  I created the UDC when I noticed some "weird" system activity
and attempts to run SYS account programs and things...
 
    You can even nowadays with the POSIX shell do all sorts of other
wonderful things like emailing yourself details... Putting up TCPDUMP
and invoke it to watch who was streaming the job... All sorts of fun to
be had :) :)

How about removing BA capability from the users? 

(:ALTUSER USER;CAP=-BA)

That would prevent them from submitting jobs. They could alter the !JOB
line for a different user but they'd have to know the password, which is
an entirely different auditing exercise...
