Because VT3K/9000 input files contain login information to your remote HP 3000, you should use a method for protecting your input files.

In order to prevent unauthorized users from obtaining your HP 3000 login information, you must protect your VT3K/9000 input files and your input file directory. You should have sole access for reading or writing to your VT3K/ 9000 input files. To accomplish this unique access, perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure that your input files are owned by you, the user.

  2. Use the HP-UX chmod command to protect your input files with 0400 (-r----- ---) permission.

  3. Use the HP-UX chmod command to protect your input file directory so that no one else can read it or write to it. For example, you should protect your input file directory with at least 0700 (-rwx------) permission.

  4. Ensure your HP-UX account has a password.
