I don t have a good understanding of default accounts when using NETCONFIG. I would like to allow people to list files in a specific directory (DIR NODE::), PHONE me and MAIL me. Does this mean I need to specify default accounts for FAL, MAIL and PHONE? If so, what is the purpose of the Default DECnet account , which is the first of the questions in the sequence below: Do you want a default DECnet account? [NO]: yes Do you want default access to the TASK object disabled? [YES]: Do you want a default account for the MAIL object? [YES]: Do you want a default account for the FAL object? [NO]: yes Do you want a default account for the PHONE object? [YES]: Do you want a default account for the NML object? [YES]: Regards Rob
