[comp.os.vms] More on PHOTO

ac02%ntvaxb.DECnet@UTADNX.CC.UTEXAS.EDU ("NTVAXB::AC02") (04/21/88)

I installed the security patch and like everyone else my PHOTO quit
working.  I found out that intalling PHOTO with SYSPRV does allow
it to work.  BUT I found that this makes a BIG hole in VMS.  I won't
say what it is, but I want to warn everyone against installing it with
privilege.  I am looking at the PHOTO source and am trying to fix it,
but I am not a C guru and I don't understand how the program works.  I
don't have much hope on personally fixing it.  If anybody else figures
out how to fix it, please let me know.

Thanks,
