Until recently we had only one disk for our user files and they all were in SYS$USRROOT: defined with /EXEC/TRANS=(CONCEALED,TERMINAL). Also SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE was set to SYS$USRROOT in AUTHORIZE. Now we have to spread users according to groups across several disks in a LAVC (no volume sets) and we defined GROUP1$USRROOT: etc. just like SYS$USRROOT before and we modified the login device in order for MAIL etc. to work correctly. Is there a way to set up the logical SYS$USRROOT ( I assume in SYLOGIN.COM ) such that each user sees only SYS$USRROOT as his login device and not the root of his group? If you have any ideas, please let me know.

If i read your question correctly, you can just DEFINE/TRANS=CONC, and the logical name will be seen as the login device IF it is specified as the login device (ie. The name will be translated, but the translation will be invisible.). You don't want to use the TERMINAL keyword because it will prevent the logical from being translated further. For example, if you DEFINE/TRANS=(CONC, TERM) SYS$USRROOT GROUP1$USRROOT, then when you invoke the name SYS$USRROOT, it will be translated to GROUP1$USRROOT, but GROUP1$USRROOT will NOT be translated into what ever its definition is. This is fine if GROUP1$USRROOT has no definition (ie. is an actual device or directory specification (obviously not the case here)) but not if GROUP1$USRROOT is a logical that needs to be translated. mark plummer MARKUS@LOYVAX.BITNET loyola college (baltimore) acs
