248.0. "How to access SRVR not logged in" by TEASE::WEAVER () Sat Feb 18 1989 22:05

    Okay I'm tired out .... whew... Can anyone give me a pointer to
    the information about the files DECW$SERVER_allowed*.dat and/or
    decw$client_allow*.dat.
    
    Yes I know its unsupported.
    
    Yes I know it's undocumented.
    
    But I'd like to restart my serer from home to test an application,
    but since SDC will not allow me to grab the server once I kill my
    login session (yes it's in pause). I knew all this before, but can;t
    track down the information on how to use the files (what fields
    username and such).
    
    Interestingly enough I think this is just a valuable a tool (even
    though it's undocumented/unsupported) as Xdefaults.dat. I would
    think that in many environments this would be a mandatory quality.
    If I can find the wish list topic, I'll post it as a wish.
    
    	Regards,

    Try note 179.
    
    If your workstation is paused, DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT and 
    DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_TRUSTED.DAT will NOT help you.  These security in
    these files are are used when NO SESSION MANAGER is running.  The
    characteristics of the Session Manager found in DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT
    will override the security found in these files until the server is
    reset. If you are just sitting at the Login Dialog Box, you will be
    fine.
    
    BTW, the format of the file is "transport node user"
    
    * 0 SYSTEM               for example
