- As I recall, this can be overcome by defining LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX as
- LNM$GROUP in the LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY table to override its default value of
- LNM$JOB which is set in the LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY table. I don't recall if
- this requires GRPNAM prvilege, though it seems likely. I remember having to
- fix up a lot of older programs this way when names for temporary mailboxes
- was moved to the (brand-new) job table back in ClosedVMS 4.0.
