Thanks for the link, Craig.  I have another addition but unfortunately 
the ITRC site is dropping connections when I try to sign in.  Sigh.

For DECnet Phase V installations, there is an executable to fix missing 
NET$* rightslist identifiers:

$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:NET$FIXUP_IDENTIFIERS

Documentation of this is scarce.  Here's a comment I made in Notes over 
on EISNER (Conference VMS, Topic 3540):

 The documentation only appears to mention NET$FIXUP_IDENTIFIERS.EXE in
 Appendix C - "System Files Loaded During Installation" of the DECnet
 Plus Installation Manual. I did dig up something on the HP website
 that mentioned it could be used when importing RIGHTSLIST.DAT from 
 another system, but I suspect that's not the whole story.
