[comp.os.vms] HUNG LOGINS SOLVED AND A QUERY...

V2002A@TEMPLEVM.BITNET (12/10/87)

Hi,

     Many thanks to those who responded (so quickly!) to my problem
with hung terminal ports.  ALFMAINT solved the problem.
     To Carl Lydik:  I'm in agreement, this feature should be disabled
in future releases of VMS.  It could be very useful AFTER one has
learned the ropes of VMS.
     Also, one terminal was not on the ALFMAINT list.  TXA3: was
temporarily setup for file xfers to/from our pdp-11 (RSTS).  I set
its ACL to (IDENTIFIER=TERMCTL,ACCESS=READ+WRITE+CONTROL) and granted
the UAF identifier TERMCTL to two VMS accounts.  Apparently this
erased the alfmaint assignment of USER to TXA3:.  Is this a VMS bug
of do granted UAF identifiers override (and erase) ALFMAINT entries?
