Note about soft links: Soft links on files should be made only to files on disks controlled by EACF. If this isn't done, the user process channel to the file can't be put back, and you may see odd errors. (None I've ever seen were harmful, just "no such file" or "invalid directory format" that disappear after you do enough to cause a new channel assign to the channel, but they're annoying and could really scare someone.) If you stay on disks EACF controls, cross-disk links are perfectly OK. The setup above doesn't do this...you'd need to duplicate it on another disk or try the jtdmn /share:jta0: qualifier (since one EACF daemon can service many disks). The setup script will attempt to set up disks correctly. Note my testing was done with the daemon running in one DECwindow and with file access being run in others. Glenn C.
