Colin:

The funny thing is, this is a local user. The network doesn't use a domain (it's a server network). I'm a valid user and I can log onto any other dbms account. When I try to telnet into this one account I get:

"Unable to set current directory to E:\Advantos\MyAccount"

But, I log into another account, set a 'Q' pointer to "MyAccount's" (VOC) file, or any other file for that matter, and I can list the contents of any of the files. This tells me the permissions are fine. UniObjects has no trouble connecting to the account and neither does mv.NET using UO.Net (I'm using a user id that is a member of the UniDataUnique group). This particular user can't telnet in either. When I try to telnet in using my credentials, which happen to be the "owner" of everything under the dbms account's directory, it fails too.

So, I guess I'll just put the permissions back to the way they were and forget about this, as telnet accesses something UO doesn't. :-(

Thanks,

Bill

Bill;

There are a couple of windows permissions (log on locally, access this
computer) that need to be enabled for the user for telnet user (at least as
of 2003).

Subject: [U2] UD - Account Permissions

I've been tinkering with the permissions on an account in UniData.  We run
Windows 2008 R2 and UD v7.1.12.  I have one account where I removed all
permissions, assigned me as the "owner",  then assigned me and a unique
group (UniDataUnique) as having "full control" of the entire account
directory.  I propagated all permissions down into the directory.

So, every object, within the account directory, gives full permissions to me
and the group "UniDataUnique".  I assigned the group "UniDataUnique" to the
DesignBais user (the user authorized to access the dbms via UniObjects).

I cannot login via telnet.  I can login via UniObjects through DesignBais.
I can log into another dbms account, create a "Q" pointer to the voc of the
restricted dbms account, and list the contents of the restricted VOC.  I
can't list the "Q" file if I'm anyone else.

Is there something peculiar with telnet that I can't log into this account?
Naturally, when I add  the "administrators" group to the account's
permissions I can login via telnet.

Thanks,

Bill Haskett
