184.0. "System files & their protections." by MARVEL::DAVIDC (Don't lose your head.) Wed Feb 12 1997 09:27

    
    
    Wonder if anyone can help here. The OpenVms Guide to System Security
    states that:
    
    "Listings of system files & their protections are available on Compact
    Disc".
    
    Can anyone please tell me which disc?? I've searched all that I think 
    are relevant but to no avail!
    
    Many Thanks

184.1Easy To See On Alpha Distribution CD-ROMXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringWed Feb 12 1997 09:3616
    
:    "Listings of system files & their protections are available on Compact
:    Disc".

   That phrasing is poor, or the quote lacks sufficient context.

   For the source listings, one must order the OpenVMS Source Listings
   CD-ROM.  See the low-numbered notes for the SSB contact information.
   
   One can look at the protections on various OpenVMS distributions for
   the typical file protections -- see the C2 appendix for additional
   information -- present on the files.  The bootable OpenVMS Alpha
   distribution CD-ROM is another place to look.  This is possible
   on most any OpenVMS distribution kit, but (on OpenVMS VAX) sometimes
   one has to look inside a backup saveset.

    re .*
    
    I thought that one of the manuals (yeah, I don't remember) actually
    had an appendix that listed what files should exist. Whether it is up
    to date I don't know.
