[comp.os.vms] ACLs

AWalker@RED.RUTGERS.EDU (*Hobbit*) (06/27/87)

While digging around through various things with DUMP [which I do on
occasion] I stumbled on a whole slew of things that look like ACL keywords,
but there were a lot more of them than are documented.  Does anyone know
what things like

	bi_journal_name
	audit_journal
	size
	flags
	bit_6 [all the way up to bit_31]
	journaled_file
	marked_for_journaling
	hidden

are and what knows about them?  Putzing with SET ACL and such brought forth
continual refusal to do anything.

Side note:  Security audit alarms are a crock.  If I queue up a zillion
read QIOs to the OPCOM mailbox [I think it's usually MBA2], issue an innocuous
"request" to fill the one OPCOM already had outstanding, OPCOM isn't going to
see diddly for a good long time, while I'm turning off audits, messing with
symbionts, bouncing the network, romping through the UAF, etc.  A vague fix
for this would be to have OPCOM queue up a zillion reads, or use some othre
mechanism than a mailbox to handle $sndopr.

I'mm not sure, but I suspect that they are for use with the journal facility,
an unannounced, but oft discussed layered product to be available with VMS
V4.6.
