[mod.computers.vax] sysuaf and logical names

        ... I didn't move the UAF but pointed to it with a system/exec/etc
        definition of SYSUAF pointing to the old one in the 4.1 tree. ...

        ... But suppose I *want* to create a new UAF file to mess with on
        this system?  Defining SYSUAF to point to the other directory I'm
        messing with doesn't work; Authorize complains about some file
        access type problem.  How do I get around it without blowing away
        the system logical name while I create the new UAF file?

Er, there must be something I'm missing here, to wit:

$ define/system/exec sysuaf sys$system:sysuaf.dat
$ dir/full sysuaf

What sort of file access problem are you getting?
