| Ensure that UNIXOPTS record does not specify DFTGROUP and DFTUSER fields for classified systems. Ensure that then UNIXOPTS record specifies NOUNIQUSER and no MODLUSER If system is classified the UNIXOPTS record must specify DFTGROUP(); DFTUSER() and MODLUSER(). NOUNIQUEUSER must be specified. Example: SET C(GSO) LIST UNIXOPTS CHOWNRES DFTGROUP() DFTUSER() NODIRACC NODIRSRCH NOFSOBJ NOFSSEC NOGOSETGID NOHFSACL NOHFSSEC NOIPCOBJ NGROUPS(300) NOPROCACT NOPROCESS MODLUSER() NOUNIQUSER |
