| VMS is a bit cagey about whether users get the LOCAL identifier. I have
a workstation and I usually SET HOST to IOSG rather using the LAT. When
I do a $show proc/priv I am told I have a REMOTE Process right. Were I
to use the LAT then I would have LOCAL.
Does this explain your problem?
Cheers

| 894.2 | Another issue around *LOCAL FYI | IOSG::STANDAGE | Oink...Oink...Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | Thu Jun 18 1992 19:23 | 23 |

All,
Actually, there is a problem with *LOCAL which I only just discovered
today.
If a drawer is shared with *LOCAL and only CREATE privilege is granted
then it doesn't work as expected. The FCS returns insufficient
privilege when a user attempts to create in that drawer.
Similarly, EDIT privilege has the problem associated with it when
*LOCAl is used.
There are no problems however when READ, DELETE/REFILE or CONTROL
privileges are granted.
Note: This is isolated to *LOCAL, specifying usernames works just fine.
Kevin.

| 894.3 | LAT equal LOCAL | BERN01::MAURERF | Isn't your mouse looking for cheese? | Fri Jun 19 1992 15:25 | 8 |
| Stuart,
You are right, I was logged in via set host. If *local identifier is
used, then it's better to connect via LAT.
Thanks for your help.

| 894.4 | The reason | SCOTTC::MARSHALL | Pearl-white, but slightly shop-soiled | Fri Jun 19 1992 17:30 | 8 |
| The reason why you don't get *LOCAL with SET HOST...
*LOCAL implies you are local (physically) to the system. But if you SET HOST,
you could be on the other side of the world. That's why LAT (LOCAL area
transport) connections get *LOCAL, but SET HOST (and other types of connection,
I expect) get *WORLD instead.

Hi,
what's the solution for the problem described in .2?

I shared a drawer with *LOCAL and granted Y Y Y Y _ . A non-privileged
account cannot create or edit documents in this folder.

Stefan,

Yes, that's exactly what I reported. At the moment, there does not seem
to be a workaround, other than to share the drawer with spcific users
and/or groups.

| 894.7 | FCS does not understand *LOCAL | CHRLIE::HUSTON | | Mon Mar 08 1993 18:00 | 12 |

It appears as though the way *LOCAL works is to check for a VMS
rights ID that VMS gives you when you are a local loging. note that
this rights ID is not in teh rightslist for teh users. THe FCS
only knows about the ones in teh rightslist.dat for that user.
There is no workaround, except as Kevin says in .6, share with
specific users.

I'm afraid we can't talk about futures in this conference, but the
problem is on our bug list and will be considered for a future release.

Will this work to alleviate the problems with *LOCAL ?
