If I only purge[group/account];onvs=sourcevol, the accounting details should still be in the system copy that I didn't purge. All capabilities, groups, access rights, and so forth should be intact (or are they?). >Too bad tar doesn't know about MPE, making an archive with Posix/Unix makes >these kinds of moves relatively easy.

It's fine for moving Posix objects, but never tried much with MPE accounts and/or groups. [\] Jeff Kell <[log in to unmask]>
