Unfortunately DEC doesn't have ACL's on queues (yet, hopefully). One idea I had was to fake it as follows: Using the user-modified print symbiont, replace the symbiont's output routine with one of your own which first grabs the ACL off the device in question and then applies a $CHECKPRO against the submitter of each job the modified symbiont sees. Thus, you fake protecting the queue by putting the ACL you want on the device. Unfortunately this involves writing some code, but there shouldn't really be too much to do. You could always type in the standard PRTSMB output routine from the fiche, as it's only a couple'a pages long and then hack in the ACL grabber code and the $CHECKPRO against the submitter. This would ensure behaviour consistent with the current PRTSMB. No, I haven't written the code. Unfortunately I need ACL's on batch queues, not device queues. /Kevin Carosso engvax!kvc @ csvax.caltech.edu Hughes Aircraft Co.

An easy way, though creating some overhead, is to set protection to System only, and install a submitting program with SYSPRV.
