Developers who access sources in OSF/1 pools, please read: 	

We are increasing the level of security with respect to the OSF/1 and 
other source licences which govern the use of our product source pools.  
Each system within Digital hosting a copy of Digital UNIX sources is 
required to have a Digital UNIX source license; there is no "company wide" 
license.

In 2 weeks (on Nov 1), we will remove world-read access to the sources in 
the OSF/1 pools, both in ZK and at remote sites.  All users will have to be 
in group staff (gid 10) in order to read these sources.  This should not 
pose problems to users on production systems, however, some users may have 
to add this group to individual workstations to ensure continued access.

You can use the "id" and/or "groups" commands to check your individual 
access on any system. Please contact your site's system administration 
if you require any assistance.

Thank you very much,

        Joshua Friedman, Digital UNIX Release Engineering
