On UniVerse version 9.6.1.6 HP-UX We can create "q-pointers" to any directory path on the system such that writes to a q-pointed file will write to the specified directory. Is there any way to restrict that mechanism to prevent "accidental" access.
Our Production account is mirrored from the Production box onto the backup (DEV) box as a (disaster recovery) account. As such we need to be able to restore /activate it at short notice. BUT We do not want any inadvertent updates to that account via these q-pointers. Ideally I would like UniVerse to tell me that I cannot create a q-pointer to a 'restricted' area. I don't think it will do that. I do not want to change the unix permissions because that could interfere with the DR copying processes and would probably need to be undone if we need to switch over. Any ideas would be welcome. Cheers John Rodgers ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
