MicroVax II people,

  About a month ago I was unable to logon onto SYSTEM.  I kept getting a double
password prompt. I took the little guy down and set the alternate sysuaf so
I could come in thru the back door.  I analyzed SYSUAF.DAT and found that it
was corrupted, so I rebuilt it.

  Same thing happen yesterday.  The following is the end of a
        ANAL/RMS SYSUAF.DAT
output.
=========================
        Key Segments: 1
        Null Character: %X'00'
        Key Size: 8
        Minimum Record Size: 52
        Index Fill Quantity: 1024, Data Fill Quantity: 1024
        Segment Positions:      44
        Segment Sizes:           8
        Data Type: unsigned quadword
        Name: "Owner Identifier"
        First Data Bucket VBN: 21
***  VBN 21:  SIDR pointer extends past end of SIDR record.
***  Drastic structure error precludes further analysis.


The analysis uncovered 2 errors.


ANAL/RMS/OUT=T.T SYSUAF.DAT
==================================

  Anyone else seen this problem??
