This directory contains a bunch simple objects that can be put out in the default decnet directory. It is recommended that one creates the default decnet directory with system ownership proctected with world read + execute access These object files can be placed in the directory with w:re protection and belonging to system. this scheme offers the following advantages: users cannot delete or change the objects via the default network account. netserver.log files will never be created. you must be running at least vms v3.4 to do this!! these objects can then be accessed from any DECnet node via the NODESHOW program or the dcl command: $ TYPE NODE::"TASK=object"
