I'm sure others have come across this before, but with directory type files, you can specify relative paths as part of the record name to access files stored elsewhere:
For example, say you have an account in /account There is a VOC entry for: <1> DIR <2> BP ... At ECL, if you type ED BP ../../etc/host You get the /etc/host file in ED! Obviously, that example required access to ECL and was quite contrived, but it does not take much imagination to think of scenarios where not being able to guarantee the file/directory data is being read from/writing to can cause security headaches. I didn't find anything when I searched the manuals about a Unidata setting and we cannot deal with all the scenarios we have programmatically in Unibasic... Aside from usual UNIX permissions, etc, how have people dealt with this?
