Well, lying right in front of me is an orange document with order
number AA-KX23A-TE, more commonly know as the VAX/VMS Release Notes
for Version 4.7.
I have looked it over once, and the only thing that caught my eye was
Update #32 (On Page A-10).
32) SECURESHR (patch image)
ECO01 DDP0230 06-OCT-1987 13:41
Module: SYSUAISRV
Miscellaneous bug fixes
UAI has been one of the more dangerous additions to VMS (Remeber the SPAN
breakin folks ?) and they are still fixing it... yeesh! It's a handy System
Service, but it worries me that they are patching it again (Anyone know what
the "Miscellaneous bug fixes" are ?).
Anyhow, given the delay involved when we request a change to the cluster or
the O/S, we won't installing 4.7 for a little while. I would like to hear
about any surprises or interesting quirks that people may have noticed during
and after the 4.7 install. Please send to me directly (addresses above) and
I'll post a summary to Info-Vax.
Thanks & Regards,
