I thought all DECNET command were supposed to say "password", just like the DIRECTORY command did. Is this going to be fixed in VMS 4.6? This is a possible security problem if you SET DEFAULT through DECNET, which I do on occasion on TEXNET. ******************************************************************************** Billy Barron Bitnet : BILLY@NTSUVAX or AC02@NTSUVAX VAX Programmer/Operator TEXNET : NTVAXB::BILLY or NTVAXB::AC02 North Texas State Univ.
