2688.0. "Intermittent update problem on autoREPLYHIST.DAT" by GIDDAY::LEH () Mon May 10 1993 14:05

IOS 3.0-1 on VMS 5.5-2

Intermittent access problems where replying to an AUTOREPLY-set user caused
this error:

...OA-E-DBEOR,  Error opening RPLYHS
                Insufficient priv or file protection problem ......

Naturally, trying a bit later worked OK, the customer claimed.

Is there any locking problem say by concurrent updating of this file ?
The S: protection t still requiresRWED despite of the full priv'd OA$MAIN
Is this intentional ?

2688.1	GAp is the Auto-Reply developer?	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	on the Streets of San Francisco	`Mon May 10 1993 20:00`	9
	Hong, STARS gave me two matches on this - note 2576 only a month ago and note 2451 in the _v24 version of this conference. Both were answered by GAP so he's obviously the expert in this area. regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
2688.2	monitoring	GIDDAY::LEH		`Tue May 11 1993 05:16`	16
	Andrew I had looked briefly at note 2576 but believed this problem, if genuinely claimed so by the customer, was intermittent, of same nature as note 2505. On note 2451 of ALl-IN-1_V24, I also noticed from GAP's reply that the S(ystem) protection setting shouldn't need to have D(elete) for REPLYHIST.DAT, which seemed to match my testings. Have asked the customer to monitor this problem esp. the protection mask when it recurs Thanks Hong
2688.3	Context? Diskquota? Alarm ACL?	IOSG::PYE	Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice	`Tue May 11 1993 19:25`	20
	Thanks for the compliment Andrew, but I think my knowledge of AR is now exhausted. Could there be a difference between whether the mail is delivered locally, first class - when the write to the REPLYHIST file would be done in the context of the sending user, and hence image privs would be needed, and if it was remote, or local second class, and hence in the context of the POSTMASTER account. The POSTMASTER (i.e. ALLIN1 (sic) VMS account) might be running with different default privs, like BYPASS for example... Or perhaps it's when the file gets extended, and a diskquota problem occurrs? Again, the image might have EXQUOTA and not the POSTMASTER or viceversa. Can you try adding a security ACL for unsuccessful access and see if that narrows down when the problem occurrs? Graham (The AR developer - NOT!)
