Kenneth,

I am passing this on to the DECnet/VMS engineering group
requesting if they can help you. If you don't hear anything
within a day or two contact me again.

E & Y produced a guide in 1993 titled "Audit, Control, and Security of the DEC
VAX/VMS. It includes a section on DECnet. (SCORE Retrieval File No. ff0019).

The EDP Auditor Journal , Vol.1, 1993 is devoted to VAX/VMS security and
auditing. It was published by the Information Systems Audit and Control Assoc.
(708-253-1545).

I do not know if anything similar has been written for PATHWORKS. Try the
PATHWORKS group.

        I have forwarded this to the OpenVMS Partners in the Wash DC area
        to handle.

    ...this notes file is really the tops. First, you're on your
    own struggling to solve a problem (which shouldn't be yours
    in the first place) one call here and guardian angels just
    soar right in...
