Listuser command allows for 'enumeriation' of valid userids

As seen below. When one does a "LU <EXISTING USER>" you get the message : "NOT AUTHORIZED TO LIST IBMUSER"
When the user it not present on the system, you get the message "UNABLE TO LOCATE USER ENTRY NOTHERE"

It would be better if the reply in both cases would be "INVALID USER IBMUSER"
That way, a potential "nosey parker" will be left in the dark whether it's an authorisation issue or just an invalid, nonexisting userid.

dade@gibson> tsocmd lu IBMUSER
lu IBMUSER
ICH30002I NOT AUTHORIZED TO LIST IBMUSER
dade@gibson> tsocmd lu NOTHERE
lu NOTHERE
ICH30001I UNABLE TO LOCATE USER ENTRY NOTHERE
