- |Thanks for the explanation of the ownerships in the posts, but the
- |problem we encountered is that the first name S892999 shown below is
- |essentially a user's name.
- |
- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- | $ dir login.com;3 /security
- |
- | Directory $DUA0:[STUD.S882000]
- |
- | LOGIN.COM;3 [S892999,S882000] (RWED,RWED,,)

- |I'm just wondering if there is a possiblity that the name of a group
- |can be the same as the name of a user. Or is there any way to check
- |the group name in VMS? like "ypcat group" in UNIX running NIS.
-
- yes, it's possible. if you look up the identifier S892999
- in AUTHORIZE using SHOW/ID S892999 you'll find that it's
- defined as [group-no-of-S882000,177777]. You may add identifiers
- of that type that translate to ANY alpha string, including the
- name of another user. the alpha strings don't mean anything to VMS;
- they are only there to make the output more readable. VMS
- deals with the numeric values only.
-
- since AUTHORIZE won't let you create a user with a uic of
- [ooo,177777], the only thing i can think of is a user was
- added with an account field of S892999. or maybe somebody
- changed the identifier with the MODIFY/IDENT command of AUTHORIZE.
- Or maybe used COPY or RENAME in AUTHORIZE.
