Hi all,

We just got a new security patch for VMS 4.7 and installed it this morning.
Much to our dismay, PHOTO stopped working.  Apparently it now requires
privileges to spawn subprocess using the PSUEDO-TERMINAL driver. Has anyone
else seen this problem?  Is this patch really important?  Is there a way
to fix PHOTO?  I can get it to work if I turn on BYPASS privelege, but I
don't particularly want to have all the PHOTO users running with BYPASS.
Any help would be appreciated.
