Instead of :RELEASE, consider the use of
ACDs (Access Control Definitions)
• :RELEASE is easy for getting around conventional file
access restrictions, but tends to create huge security
holes
• Instead use ACDs to grant different levels of access for
different users of a file
• See :HELP ALTSEC for details
• For example:
:ALTSEC FDATA;NEWACD=(R:@.@; W,R:@.ACCT)
• Note: ACDs are the foundation for POSIX security
