The VMS security model makes this pretty much impossible. The only way a user can run a job that survives logout is to have DETACH privilege. But the way VMS defines DETACH privilege, a user with that privilege can create a job running as any user, and therefore can do anything. Stupid, right? But there's no way around this. -- - Joe Buck jbuck@epimass.epi.com, or uunet!epimass.epi.com!jbuck, or jbuck%epimass.epi.com@uunet.uu.net for old Arpa sites <picture your favorite pithy quote here>
