Well, /MEDIA=CDROM may be the culprit for the permissions on an individual file, though I haven't verified that yet. It is definitely not the culprit for me with the silent process exit when accessing the 6 zeroes directory. I've reduced it to a simple file test: $ perl -e "print -r 'dka400:[000000]';" or $ perl -e "print -r 'dka400:[000000]autorun.inf';" which causes the process to go away suddenly and leaves a 0x0c (not 0x1c as I erroneously said earlier) in the accounting log as the final exit status. So, there's an access violation somewhere. I don't know if it's in our infamous cando_by_name function in vms.c or in sys$check_access itself. It almost seems like it would have to be in a system service since it's hard to see how a user-mode accvio would terminate the process. That's as far as I can get tonight. I strongly recommend folks not test this on multi-user production systems since there's a remote chance you could crash the system and not just the process. -- ____________________________________________ Craig A.
