SYSMSH@ULKYVX.BITNET.UUCP (01/11/87)
Hey I bet it was TDMS that did it to you, those other packages do the right thing. It may have looked at the VAXCLUSTER sysgen parameter...since you only have one 8650 you may have that set to 0. If 0 it may decide that you don't have a common system disk. I had a similar experience on my cluster. I installed a recent upgrade of the MINITAB statistical package and it created a sys$specific DCLTABLES, protected it (o:rwe,s:rwed,g,w) and replaced the installed image. Unprivileged users would log on and get booted out with a protection failure on the command tables!! groan!!
