VMS V6.2 LinkWorks V3.07 The customer has a user who has a folder and two documents within it, which is accessible from their desktop. The user claims that he created them himself in June/July of last year. He went to delete them and found that the creator/owner was someone different. The user that owns them, did not have an account when these documents were created. This is a potential security risk, he wonders if his database is corrupt. He has been unable as yet to find any other users with the same problem. The problem is also that the user happens to be in the security department of their company so is taking this quite seriously! Any ideas? Cheers, Richard.

FWIW I have seen this phenomenon also on LNX 307 on Alpha Dunix. I am not sure if this has recurred at the customer site since they have upgraded to LNX 308. The owner was changed to X, where user X had left the company several months previously. Needless to say, as Mr. Murphy would have it, this customer customer is our most "security oriented". They feel there is a bug here, although they realise it may be hard to track down with such scant data. Yakir | |||||

Thanks Yakir for the feedback. Does anyone in LinkWorks engineering know if this was a problem in V3.07, and that it has been cured in V3.08, Cheers, Richard. | |||||

Enginering has no awareness of such a problem. The only remark made was "Should it be possible for the new owner to do this? In other words what is the accessright of the document?" Enginering will keep it in mind to see if there are situations possible which could result in such situations. Joop Visser | |||||
