I'm sorry if you've already seen this, but I haven't heard anything and I'm wondering if it got lost ... Hello - I have a problem and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or anything that could help! I have a situation where our programmers have CMKRNL to enable them to jump around to application directories (switching to the application user's uic). I would like to take this away -- but I know what a pain it is for the programmer to have to log in and out of the applications, and since the application user's accounts are captive, the programmers get thrown right into the application with no access to VMS etc etc. I have asked the vendors of the application "manager" for a modification for an "ACL" type protection within the application. That doesn't look promising. I think that what I'd like to do is install an image with privilages -- that does a lookup on what UIC they want -- and moves them if that's ok (i.e. I could have some kind of list of valid UIC's that they could have, a list that was editable from a privilaged account). Does this sound crazy? If so, does anybody have any ideas -- I know of one programmer who has already been into the SYSTEM. If not, would I have to write this in Macro? The only language we have is MUMPS, so I can't do it in Fortran or C or anything. HELP. ANYthing will be appreciated. (BTW, I didn't hand out CMKRNL -- I was being used before I came on board ;-) THANKS SO MUCH! Mary E.
