XAC: How to Execute XAC Commands within OSS via .profile.

To execute XYGATEAC commands within OSS, and add the following to the user OSS .profile file.

The .profile file can be located in the user's initial home directory in the OSS environment. The following command takes the user to his home directory: cd ~

Add the following text into the user's .profile file:
xac() {
gtacl -p /G/system/xygateac/xygateac "$1"
}
 
This will enable the user to input the XYGATEAC Commands using the exact same syntax used in the Guardian environment.  For example, if the ACACL Command TACL-255 is used from a TACL prompt to enable a user to operate as SUPER.SUPER, from an OSS prompt would normally need to type
gtacl -p /G/system/xygateac/xygateac tacl-255
 
By inserting the above lines in the .profile file, from an OSS prompt that user can type ?XAC TACL-255? and achieve the same results. This example would result in the user being put into the Guardian environment as SUPER.SUPER.

NOTE:  It is important to know that the commands in the OSS environment are case sensitive.
