- One could always set up a privileged captive account that would:
- $ BACKUP SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT-
- disk:[comptroller]SYSUAF.DAT;1/OVER
- $ SET FILE/OWNER=comptroller disk:[comptroller]SYSUAF.DAT;1
- $ SET PROT=O=RWED disk:[comptroller]SYSUAF.DAT;1
- Then let the comptroller first log in to that account to get a new copy of
- SYSUAF.DAT, then log in to his own account to run AUTHORIZE.
