This appendix lists OpenVMS VAX system files and their protections so you can monitor them regularly to ensure that no tampering has occurred. Section B.1 identifies the protection codes and ownership assigned to the files and calls out any exceptions. Section B.2 lists the system files supplied on OpenVMS VAX media.

See Chapter 8, particularly Section 8.9.2 for a discussion of how to protect OpenVMS system files.

B.1 Standard Ownership and Protection

The system (SYSTEM) owns all OpenVMS system files except one. The directory MOM$SYSTEM is owned by UIC [376,375].

All files in SYS$DEVICE:[VMS$COMMON], except those listed in Table B-1, have a protection code of S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RWED,W:RE.
