We found that any group logical names defined during startup would be wiped out
by VMS as soon as the first person of the group would log in.  We couldn't
figure out a way around this.

Then, some clever person here on info-vax someone sent in a solution that seems
to work.  You let VMS create the table for you by including a statement of the
form:

        RUN/DET/UIC=someone_in_the_group_you_want LOGINOUT.EXE

in your startup command file.  After this you can define all the names you like.

I don't remember if there were any other switches on the line that were needed
but you get the general idea.
