(This is a reposting of a message sent over 2 weeks ago which I never
saw and to which I received no responses. My apologies if you are seeing
it again.)
We are trying to write a program which will test for the CAPTIVE flag
on each account that logs in, and take action depending on whether or
not it is set. For this we need the $UAIDEF module as described in the
system services manual under $getuai. However we can't find it on any
of our 4.4 or 4.5 systems in any of the sys$library:*.tlb files. Should
it be there? For security reasons are we supposed to look for it or
retrieve it from somewhere else? Does anyone have the values of the flags
from which we can make our own $UAIDEF include file?
Help on this would be most appreciated, as at the moment we are restricted
to checking the account name, which is fine while we only have a couple of
captive accounts, but rapidly becomes unwieldy if we have more.
Thanks in advance. If you feel reluctant to post a reply to the list, please
send it directly to SYSTEM@UTORPHYS (BITNET).
