2194.0. "What does SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$INT.EXE do?" by UKVMS3::RVIRR (High cost of ownership...) Mon Apr 21 1997 15:34

Hello,
	A customer wants to install SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$INT.EXE as  /PRIVILEGED and
/SHARED.  But first wants to know what it does.  I cant find any reference to
SQL$INT.EXE anywhere in notes or the doc set.  The cust is worried about
potential security holes.  Does anyone know what this .exe does, or any problems
installing it as privileged?
 
	Thanks,
		Rich.

    SQL$INT is a regular RDB image and not specificly related to SQLServices.
    You may want to ask your question in the Rdb or SQL notes conferences.

/PRIVILEGED????  Anyway - this is a SQL image.  Try the SQL notes conference 
(NOMAHS::SQL).

2194.3Why do they want to do this?HOTRDB::PMEADPaul, pmead@us.oracle.com, 719-577-8032Mon Apr 21 1997 23:0211
    If they want to install images /PRIV then it sounds like they want to
    create security holes...
    
    Take a look at SYS$STARTUP:SQL$STARTUP.COM.  It is called by
    SYS$STARTUP:RMONSTARTnn.COM.  The image should already be installed.
    
    What does it do?  None of their business!  :-)  Actually, it doesn't do
    much.  Mostly it just transfers control to whatever SQL$SHARE image is
    appropriate for the version of SQL they are using.  What does SQL$SHARE
    do?  Well, SQL stuff that we don't much feel like explaining to
    anyone...
