[mod.computers.vax] ACLs and shared images

MIGLESIAS@UCIVMS.BITNET (Mike Iglesias) (03/12/86)

I seem to remember a while back someone mentioning problems with sharing
images that are protected with ACLs.  I'm in that situation now, and
I can't remember the result of the problem discussion.  We're currently
running v4.1, but we're will be going to v4.2 soon.  We have a large
engineering program (PATRAN) that is protected with an ACL so only
a group of students can access it, and I'd like to share it to cut down
the beating the system takes when several students run it at the same
time.


Thanks,

I thought DEC had cotten ACLs on shared sections all cleaned up in V4.2,
but the V4.3 release notes include a couple of paragraphs describing
changes in support for /EXECUTE_ONLY images.

The patch list also documents ECO 48, "Correct the protection masks set up
in shareable logical name table protection."
