PamsNet and VMS: Activating the TASK-object

Hi VMS gurus,

a while ago  we  started  networking  our  Atari  computers  with
PamsNet.  We  also  purchased a server program vor VMS for having
the VAX serving its files to the Atari network. This  works  such
that a program is run in a batch queue under the PAMSNET account,
which was created for this purpose. This process waits  for  user
requests  to  access  their  directory.  Upon such a request, the
pamsnet program starts a server process under the account of  the
corresponding user, enabling him to access his/her VAX files over
the Atari network.
However, for this to work properly, it  is  necessary  that  "the
TASK-object  of  VMS  is  activated  for  local  users" (from the
PamsNet manual, translated by me). Could some  kind  soul  please
explain to me what we are supposed to do? Preferrably in the form
of a sequence of commands to type  in,  as  our  knowledge  about
several corners of VMS is very limited.

Followup-To: vmsnet.networks.misc is set.

Thanx in advance,

Greetinx, Jan
