[mod.computers.vax] VMS tapes : overiding OWNER_IDENTIFIER filed

TIHOR@NYU-ACF7.ARPA (Stephen Tihor) (11/25/85)

The long transcript that follows shows why I thought that OWNER_IDENTIFIER
does no bypass tape labels for a NON-PRIVILEGED user with accessibility "1"
tapes.  Could you be more specific about how OVERRIDE=OWNER_IDENT bypasses
tape label restrictions?  Should I use ACCESSIBILTY="A" tapes, ACCESS=" "
(aka UNPROTECTED) tapes?
