==Description==
This is a bitmask parameter that affects the type of login performed
by daemon threads when logged in via a $comm function ($command, $commndl,
or $commbg), or via a New method for a daemon class object.

The bits in this parameter mean:
<dl>
<dt>X'01'
<dd>A login that bypasses external authorizer (RACF, ACF2, Top Secret) validation
is performed.
<dt>X'02'
<dd>A trusted login is performed via the external authorizer.
<dt><b>X'04'</b>
<dd>This activates support for daemon login improvements when used in conjunction with the X'02' bit.

COMMLOG=6 activates an additional layer of processing between Model 204 and ACF2 for processing daemon logins (including $COMMBG and related functions). With COMMLOG=6, each user that performs a login passing a password will get a UUP block, that will be shared with any of its daemons.
</dl>

If COMMLOG is set to zero, the ''Sirius Mods'' attempts to determine if the external
authorizer (if any) supports trusted login (RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret all
support trusted login):
<ul>
<li>If the authorizer does, the ''Sirius Mods'' sets COMMLOG to X'02' and then does all
trusted logins via the external authorizer.
<li>If the authorizer does not, the flag is set to
X'01', and all logins for $comm and daemon objects do not use the external
authorizer.
</ul>

Generally, this parameter should be left as 0, though it might make sense
to set it to X'01' for efficiency — there is considerable overhead
in an external authorizer login, even a trusted one.

The downside of setting this parameter to X'01' is that no external authorizer
logging will be performed for the daemon login (this might be viewed as a benefit),
and things that required external authorizer validation (such as sequential file
access) will not be correctly controlled by the external authorizer.
