Directory protection to the files

[salomon cruz_1]

Hi, please somebody can tell me how to transfer directory protection to all the files inside it and to the new files wroten to that directory?
I have OpenVMS 7.2-2

Thanks

Other than set protection=(GROUP:RWED,WORLD:R)/DEFAULT

For more control $ HELP SET SECURITY

Something like

$set security 'device_name'[000000]'dirspec' -
/acl=(default_protection,system:rwed,owner:rwed,group:rwed,world:)

Adjust as necessary.

As suggested HELP SET SECURITY is useful.

...and for all the files inside the directory(ies), created before the default option set.

first remove any old acl set, if you want to
$set security 'device_name'['dirspec'...]/acl/delete=all

set the same acl as on directory
$set security 'device_name'['dirspec'...]*.*.* -
/acl=(system:rwed,owner:rwed,group:rwed,world:)

take a look in
$help set security

...slight correction...

$set security 'device_name'['dirspec'...]*.*.*/acl/delete=all

if you use ['dirspec'...], then you have to set default option on all subdirs as well.

I'm still asleep so my thinking is accelerating very slowly ;o))

After you create the default protection ACLs then do

$ SET SECURITY/DEFAULT device:[dir...]

To apply the settings to existing files.

I solved my problem base on the answers a recived

I'd just add: if using backup to copy a directory tree, copy the parent directory first so as to preserve its settings.

e.g.
backup [top]next.dir;1 -
[top2]next.dir;1 [/by=orig]
backup [top.next...] -
[top2.next...] [/by=orig]

This may require SYSPRV or BYPASS if the top-level directory has restricted permissions.
