I originally posted a message asking if it was possible to direct DEBUG output (i.e. DBG$INPUT & DBG$OUTPUT) to a decserver port while debugging a symbiont. The underlying problem is one does not have control over the privileges that the symbiont process is created with by the job controller. It does not have enough privileges to send output to a terminal device that is owned by another process, i.e. SHARE. Thus, output must be directed to a terminal that is not owned by anyone. Changing protection on the VTA device of the process doesn't help. DEC should probably change the code so that the job controller starts the symbiont process with SHARE privileged (I may patch the code after we get VMS V5 running.) Mark London
