Well, I am stumped. How do I set up a print queue so that only a certain bunch of people can use it and not others? What I want to do is protect the queue (w) and have an ACL to allow a certain group to print things. Setting an ACL on the device itself [txa2: in this case] has no effect on the queue protection. I think it should. And there is no way to set an ACL on a queue, from what I can find. Am I missing something obvious, or did they fail to address this when they did all the security stuff? _H* -------

DEC currently doesn't support ACLs on queues. Putting an ACL on the device doesn't work because the symbiont allocates the device, not the user. In the simpler case where the people who need access to the queue are all in the same UIC group, you can make change the owner UIC of the queue to a free one in the that group (e.g. [group,377]) and make the queue protection (S:EXECUTE,O:DELETE,G:READ+WRITE,W:NONE).
