- The "since" there should be replaced by an "if." Under VMS v5.4-2, for
- example:
-
- $ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:VMSIMAGES.DAT MAIL
- sys$system:mail_server /open /header /shared /priv=(sysprv) ! 1/13/VMS_highusers
- sys$system:mail /open /header /shared ! 1/139
- sys$share:mailshrp /open /header /shared /protect ! 3/74
- sys$share:mailshr /open /header /shared ! 2/107
-
- Since MAIL_SERVER and MAIL have been decoupled, MAIL is no longer, by default,
- a privileged image.
