Comment 5 for bug 1817568

Hi Daisy,

there is no such as a label or comment or even property in the user directory which tells us if an user is a system user or something special.

Some options although for some pre-checking:
1. Normally Linux Servers haven only class G, so users with more than this class are meaning something special, Maint for example has ABCDEFG
2. The use of include set by user_profile is an indication for a Linux Server made by CC. But is also not waterproof because it is an optional parameter.

So you see, nothing is waterproof from the perspective of the user directory. So I think a black/white list is for now the best option.

And being a newbie is not a problem, I work just 1 year with z/VM and still a lot to learn ;-)
