Correct.

Even if someone is logged on in one of the accounts that has the UDC file
set, you can still make the change easily for all subsequent accessors:

- edit the file (say udc.pub.sys), making your changes and keeping it as,
for example, udcnew.pub.sys.
- use the posix move command to replace udc with udcnew:

:mv.hpbin.sys "/SYS/PUB/UDCNEW /SYS/PUB/UDC"

Respond "yes" to the question about replacing udc. All subsequent logons
will get the new version of the udc. I use this trick all the time to
replace files in use.
