[edit] Permissions for file patterns

What's the difference with umask? --Olivier Debre 14:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

umask provides a pattern for user/group/other access for any directory or file, with whatever name, created by a process; a RACF dataset profile provides a fully specified access control list for any data set for which the profile is the closest match to the data set name, is persistent, and is insensitive to who creates the data set. --Ant 23:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Undo recent move!

I can't find any evidence on the IBM website that the product name is "IBM Resource Access Control Facility"; it appears to be simply "Resource Access Control Factility". I feel it should be moved back to that article name. --Ant 23:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Kubanczyk (talk) 21:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
