I just noticed the OP posted his original message nearly 4 years ago, so I don't know if he's still listening, but thought I'd reply anyway for the benefit of anyone else who might have interest. I put a wrappers around ED and DELETE many, many years ago, and it hasn't been a problem. My solution to the custom version getting wiped out is to keep all of our customized VOC entries in a file named VOC.MOD. The only time our VOCs get updated is during a hardware upgrade, and I copy the contents of VOC.MOD back into VOC as part of the process.

This is your backdoor in case of problems. I would also have a separate account with a pointer to the main account's VOC. This account you can lock with a simple paragraph that says if @LOGNAME isn't you, LOGOUT. 2) Write a security subroutine that conforms to the specs given in Chapter 8 of the Administrators guide. Catalog it in the global catalog. 2) Copy the verbs you want to secure, including ED, into your VOCLIB. 3) Change the verbs in the VOC to Remote pointers to your VOCLIB, and add the name of your security routine to line 4. (I might suggest testing the R pointers before applying the security routine.) 4) Once you're sure your security is working as planned, and that you can use the ED program you've secured, then remove your back door ED.BAK. Remember, you can still fix the VOC from your other account if you manage to lock yourself out. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
