678.0. "AUTHORIZE bug?" by FOO::BHAVNANI (Must be the compiler...) Sat Jan 30 1988 00:30

	Do the following on your system:

	UAF> add <username>
	UAF> modify <username> /priv=(noall) /defpriv=(noall)
	UAF> show <username>

	Notice anything funny?  I'm running 4.5 with the SECURESHR patch.
	CHECKNODE confirms my system has not been compromised.  Any clues?

678.1All I see is a featureMDVAX3::COARM��se ChoreographerSat Jan 30 1988 23:484
    Could you maybe tell us what happens when *you* do it?  When I do it,
    I see exactly what I expect to see - all privileges revoked.

678.2Opcode rserved to Digital erFOO::BHAVNANIMust be the compiler...Sun Jan 31 1988 03:127
	Sorry, didn't mean 2 be cryptic.  I get an opcode reserved to
	Digital err, apparently trapped by authorize (because it doesn't
	crash), and a brief msg saying "Error during SHOW".

	I do see the user's profile, but get the error at the end.
