If you want to restrict access so that only you can display on the VMS work-
station, grant access to Ultrix_node::uid where uid is your (Ultrix) numeric 
user id.

You can find this uid in the /etc/passwd file entry for your username.
Layout of the passwd file (from passwd(5)) is:

username:password:uid:gid:gcos-field:home-dir:login-shell
