Re: mkdir() API and IFS authorities

Hello Michael,

I think I've done this before, but I'm at a loss as to how to set the DTAAUT
authority for a folder I'm creating with the mkdir() API. I can easily set
the object authorities, but without data authorities the new folder is
worthless.

Seems you need to call CHGAUT after creation separately. mkdir() comes from UNIX and UNIX doesn't know about the special authorities from IBM i. :-)
