Date: 14 October 1986, 11:23:38 SET From: ESC1318 at ESOC To: INFO-VAX at SRI-KL I have a mailbox which I want to allow some users (different groups) to read from and write to. When I try and use an ACL to control access the users with READ+WRITE access still get protection failures when trying to access the device. Could some kind soul let me know what the problem is ? Thanks. Mike

I was asked for more detail , so... 1) use $CREMBX to create a mailbox with W:RWLP "protection" anyone can read or write to it. 2) put an ACL on the device : (id=mbx_holder,access=read+write) (id=*, access=none) 3) get a mbx_holder to read/write to the mailbox --> protection error 4) if I give CONTROL access as well the id holder can change the ACL as expected but still can't read or write to the device. I'm puzzling over whether using the ACL is preventing the holder logical IO access to the device ?? Thanks for your time.
