The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Andy,

I certainly appreciate you being on this list and I look at all of your
posts.  I am not sure why you decided to take a couple of these off-line
I was interested in following this discussion, but it is certainly upto
you to decide.

Anyway on another note, the IBM/Tivoli education material has been
stating for sometime now that the DIRMC attribute is effectively
obsolete.  The material states that all directory information is kept in
the DB now.  The only reason I used DIRMC in the past was to store my
directories on a disk based storage pool to improve restore performance.
I have now real way of verifying this information.  I guess I just
beleived the material, as such I no longer bother with this attribute
and I have not had any noticable problem.  Can you please clarify this
for us?
