  * USERS AFFECTED: All Users.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This fix provides an additional option  *
  *                      to the ETOS auto-logon signon process   *
  *                      for SLU2/3270 devices.                  *
  *                                                              *
  *                      The new logon option (5. RACF USERID)   *
  *                      allows for the automatic creation of a  *
  *                      valid  IMS RACF environment for the     *
  *                      3270/SLU2 node logging on. The RACF     *
  *                      environment is used by IMS for RACF     *
  *                      authorization checking. The option      *
  *                      makes use of a customer specified       *
  *                      userid and is passed by ETOS to         *
  *                      IMS/RACF during automatic signon.       *
  *                      The option is available only for        *
  *                      3270/SLU2 devices and may be specified  *
  *                      to ETOS via ETOS batch utility and/or   *
  *                      ETOS IMS transaction IZTRAN.            *
  *                                                              *
  *                      ETOS User Guide has been updated to     *
  *                      describe the new option and how to      *
  *                      implement it.                           *
  *                                                              *
  *                      PI71728 requires the following IMS APAR *
  *                      resolutions IMS V13: PI71366.           *

  *                                                              *
  *                      Additional considerations:              *
  *                      If users are enabled to signon to IMS   *
  *                      multiple times (from multiple           *
  *                      terminals) with the same userid, it is  *
  *                      best practice to use ETOS logon and     *
  *                      naming options that do not create       *
  *                      naming collision errors. For example,   *
  *                      when using USERID or RACF USERID for    *
  *                      the logon process, do not use IMS       *
  *                      DEFAULT as the LTERM/USER NAMING        *
  *                      OPTION. Instead, use NODE=LTERM=USER    *
  *                      as the LTERM/USER NAMING OPTION.        *
