[Info-vax] Removing /identifier from rights list

[RGB]

Hi Steve,

Oddly, an analy/rms/check returned no errors with my rightslist.dat file.
(Which is indeed shared between the 2 nodes of an itanium cluster running v8.4)

Yet, with this in mind, I see a bunch of gobbeldy-gook when looking at several user account rights id's as I listed above.  (No, they aren't normal Steve.  The value of the identifier is okay i.e, %X8... but the name which should be associated with the value is all screwed up in some instances.

........>....................... %X8001013C

This is a direct copy and past from a specific user account.  The ".....>...." is not normal and should be an id name, no?

Anyway, I'll resolve it by hook or by crook!!! (Shimber me timbers!)

Thanks all for the suggestions.

Richard
