1375.0. "Suddenly needs VMS privs?" by SWETSC::WESTERBACK (Panta rei) Thu Sep 05 1996 06:57

    Most of us all have priv's here when using PCM, but we have one
    unprivved account that can access only one console. When this
    account was used last (quite some time ago) it worked OK. Now
    he can't use the console command:
    
     ALPHON >> console mon stkeis
    %DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image CONSOLE$IMAGE:CONSOLE$CONMON
    -CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file
    $1$DKA200:[CONSOLE.][IMAGES]CONSOLE$CONMON.EXE;
    -RMS-F-NOPRIV, insufficient privilege or object protection violation 
    
    When I turn off my own privs I see the same thing...
    
    What has happened in the meantime is that I have gone up to
    1.6-306, not sure where I was when it last worked, if it was 
    1.6-301 or ECO2.  (OpenVMS Alpha 6.1)
    
    As far as I see in the docs there is no mention of a user needing
    VMS privs to access PCM? What has happened?

    Hans,
      Does the image and dir tree for CONSOLE$IMAGE: have a protection of
    World: read,execute? This looks like a simple file-protection problem
    to me.

    Whoops... Forgot that this was the one where I unpacked a saveset
    to get new images. Used backup instead of copy to put
    them in place.
    
    OK now.
    
    Sorry,
    Hans
