- Hi there,
-
- I seem to spend most of my "consultancy" time telling people how
- to let user ? on machine X.Y.Z.Q display on DECwindows/Motif displays, and
- am rapidly coming 'round to the opinion that the Session Manager's "Security"
- feature is the most useless invention since the Electric Nostril Hair Remover.
-
- Stopping short of using my BYPASS privilege to modify each and every
- user's DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:DECW$SMB_SECURITY.DAT file to
-
- sm.versionid: 3.0
- sm.host_list: * * *
- sm.num_hosts: 1
-
- (basically because there are too many users who re-direct DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
- from SYS$LOGIN, so it would take too long!), I was wondering if there is a way
- to tell the server not to check "Security" at all, ie let all connections in,
- or possible have a list of "secure hosts" (like the nodes in our cluster, for
- crying out loud!) which can always get in regardless of the contents of the
- user's SMB_SECURITY file ?
-
-
- Cheers
-
- Bernhard
