How can I set up the FAU so that it can be accessed by non-privileged users?

You need to use the INSTALL utility to set up the DISK_ANALYSIS image with the necessary privileges.

At the dollar prompt, type:

              
                
                  $ SHOW SYMBOL INSTALL 
                
              
            

to make sure you have this symbol set up. If the system returns a message like "undefined symbol", then set it up:

              
                
                  $ INSTALL :== $SYS$SYSTEM:INSTALL /COMMAND_MODE 
                
              
            

Next, call up the install utility by typing INSTALL at the dollar prompt (which will leave you at the INSTALL> prompt), then type:

              
                
                  $ CREATE DISK_NAME:[DIR_NAME]DISK_ANALYSIS.EXE -_$ /PRIVILEGE=SYSPRV,CMKRNL,LOG_IO 
                
              
            

This will install the DISK_ANALYSIS.EXE image file as a known file entry with the associated privileges.

Next, you may wish to set up DISK_ANALYSIS.EXE as a foreign command (we use FAU as the command):

              
                
                  $ FAU :== $SYS$SYSDEVICE: [DISKEEPER]DISK_ANALYSIS 
                
              
            

Finally, to set up DISK_ANALYSIS.EXE for all non-privileged users from now on, add this line to the SYSTARTUP command file:

              
                
                  $ INSTALL CREATE disk_name:[dir_name]DISK_ANALYSIS.EXE -_$ /PRIVILEGE=SYSPRV,CMKRNL,LOG_IO 
                
              
            

And you can add the following line to the system-wide SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM file so all users have the FAU foreign command:

              
                
                  $ FAU :== $SYS$SYSDEVICE:[DISKEEPER]DISK_ANALYSIS
