316.0. "What are minimum privs needed?" by AYOU65::STRACHAN (Isn't DEC WINDOWerfull) Tue Feb 28 1989 04:39

    
    
    Hi,
    
       Could somebody give me an answer to the following question, or even
       a pointer to which FM to read.
    
       What is the minimum privileges a user account would need to be set
       up with, to run Decwindows.  (Filevue,Decterms,calendar,clock and
       banner)
    
       At the moment, I have set up accounts with full privileges, but
       would like to make things more secure.
    
                                                 Thanx for any help.
                                                               
                                                                /Igs

316.1TMPMBX and probably NETMBXCADSYS::COOKALOE, ALOETue Feb 28 1989 04:585
I can't think of a reason for more than TMPMBX and NETMBX (and the reason for
NETMBX does not spring immediately to mind). This assumes that Banner is
installed with privilege. Otherwise, the required privileges were listed by Mr.
Saunders in this confernce just yesterday.

re: .0

.1 is right and you only need NETMBX if you want to initiate network links
like sending MAIL.
