[comp.sys.apollo] DOMAIN/IX Protections

dave@jplopto.uucp (Dave Hayes) (11/23/88)

We are running two nodes with 9.7 DOMAIN/IX in a network of 
about 20 workstations. Could some knowledgeable person 
please answer the following questions? 

1) To what degree is "root" a security hole on both systems
(i.e. DOMAIN/IX and Non-DOMAIN/IX)? What access is allowed/disallowed,
does root have locksmith functionality, etc?

2) How is the DOMAIN/IX ACL system different from the standard
one? Are there special hooks for DOMAIN/IX permissions?
                                    
3) Is there a way to change ownership on files in DOMAIN/IX
that have DOMAIN/IX permissions attached WITHOUT being logged
in as "root" or "locksmith"? Are there group permissions?

Thanks in advance for any replies posted or emailed!
