No one doubts it works... or that they are not documented. We doubt Susan's claim that having write rights to the VOC, is insufficient means to circumvent security subroutines referred to in remote VOC entries.
As Ken and others have pointed out - they are no defence against any one with write access to the VOC. Rendering somewhat pointless to those with sufficient access rights, motivation and knowledge/skill to remove or circumvent them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Howe Sent: Monday, 20 October 2008 1:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] Universe Triggers In my IBM "Administering Universe from Unix" manual, Chapter 5 System Security, in section 5-8, it deals with VOC file security issues and Security Subroutines using Remote pointers and a call to a 'security' subroutine. It isn't much doco to go on but it is what we based our VOC security on and it has been working for us for several years very successfully.
