Displaying Default Security

For example, a security string of AUAU specifies that any local user can read and
execute the file, but only the owner, anywhere on the network, can write to or purge the
file.

Displaying Default Security

To display your current default security string, enter WHO at the TACL prompt:

For example, the following command produces a display that includes your default
security string:

3> WHO

Unless you change this default security string, it applies to all files you create.

Changing Default Security

You can change your default security string with the DEFAULT program. When you
specify a new default security string, you must enclose it in quotes. For example, the
following DEFAULT command changes the default security string to AGOG:

4> DEFAULT, "AGOG"

When you change your default security string or any default, you are changing the
default that will be saved at the end of your current session. Under normal
circumstances, the new default value does not take effect until you log off and then log
on again to start a new session. If you want the new values to take effect immediately,
enter the VOLUME command with no parameters:

5> VOLUME
