CREATE DIRECTORY
• 1 — Execute access
• 2 — Write access
• 3 — Write and execute access
• 4 — Read access
• 5 — Read and execute access
• 6 — Read and write access
• 7 — Read, write, and execute access
For example, /MODE=751 provides:
User Read, write, and execute access 7 rwx
Group Read and execute access 5 rx
Other Execute access 1 x
/UID=n
Optional. Default: None.
Entry in the proxy database that determines, if necessary, the ownership of the
container root directory.
In the proxy database:
• UID and GID fields determine the root directory’s UNIX identity.
• User name field determines the OpenVMS ownership.
Required to access an entry in the proxy database that lacks a unique UID, user
name, and host combination.
You can use /UID with the /HOST and /USER_NAME qualifiers. If you do not
have SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege, the values you specify must correspond to
the values for your user name in the proxy database.
/USER_NAME=vms_user_name
Optional. Default: UID=0 and GID=1 (if you have SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege).
Selects an entry in the proxy database and creates the UID, GID, and OpenVMS
UIC for the directory files.
To select a user name that has a UIC different than the UIC of the process
running the management program, you need SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege.
You can use /USER_NAME in combination with /HOST and /UID. However,
if you do not have SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege, the values you specify must
correspond to the values for your user name in the proxy database.

TCPIP> MAP "/user" dua0:[group_a]
TCPIP> CREATE DIRECTORY "/user/umbrella.bird"
Creates a UNIX directory for user UMBRELLA called umbrella.bird.
In this example, the user UMBRELLA is running the TCP/IP Services
management program from the directory ([UMBRELLA.BIRD]). The UIC for
[UMBRELLA] is [340,6] and the TCPIP$PROXY entry is defined as follows:
