To control creation and deletion of logical devices one needs PHY_IO privilege for the LD utility. To use continuous tracing SYSLCK privilege is needed. The startup commandfile, SYS$STARTUP:LD$STARTUP.COM will install the LD utility with these privileges so that ordinary users can play around by creating and removing disks. Note that the users will be charged against BYTLM for each unit they create. Also, the creation of a tracebuffer will be charged against BYTLM, as well as creating of a watchpoint. Connecting a shared disk which is already connected on another cluster node without specifying a unit number needs CMKRNL privilege. Due to possible security implications the LD utility is not installed with this privilege.
