We will soon be installing VMS 4.4 on a VAX 8500. We will have as many as 20,000 accounts enabled only 7,000 of which will ever be used. I assume there's a performance consideration involved such that one would want to consider an alternative to having many unused accounts in the UAF. Since TOPS-20 could only support 12,000 users we developed a scheme of creating a user from a database when he first logged in. Is this approach worthwhile in VMS because of our particular situation? -LF- -YFM@CornellA.BITNET-
