I remember that I'd use LISTDIR5 mostly to get the file access settings at
the file, group and account levels, while I'd use 'listf ,-2' to get an
ASCII and HEX dump of the file label which would include the lockword.

I just did a search, however, on my last 'LaserRom' CD and found the
following about LISTDIR5:

The LISTDIR5 utility does the following:

 *  Lists the attributes of accounts, users, groups, and files.

 *  Lists the security provisions for files.

 *  Lists user's file access capabilities; takes into account the
    presence or absence of ACDs* associated with files.

 *  Lists the syntax for all LISTDIR5 commands.

* ACD = Access Control Definitions, described in Chapter 4 of this
manual.

The LISTDIR5 utility provides five commands that list attributes and four
that execute functions.  For information on the four functional commands,
refer to MPE V/E Utilities Reference Manual (32033-90008).

The five listing commands are:


 *  >LISTACCT Lists account attributes.

 *  >LISTGROUP Lists group attributes.

 *  >LISTUSER Lists user attributes.

 *  >LISTF Lists file attributes.

 *  >LISTSEC Lists security attributes.

The following restrictions apply when entering LISTDIR5 commands:


 *  A System Manager (SM capability) can specify any account, group,
    user, and file on the system.

 *  An Account Manager (AM capability) can specify any group, user, and
    file in his or her logon account.

 *  A general user (one without SM or AM capabilities) can specify only
    his or her own logon account, group, user name, and files.

 *  Passwords, lockwords, creator identities, file label addresses, and
    privileged file codes are displayed only when ;PASS is specified by
    System and Account Managers, as defined immediately below.


     *  Account passwords can be listed only by System Managers.

     *  Group and user passwords can be listed only by System and Account
        Managers (within their accounts).

     *  File lockwords and creator names can be listed only by System and
        Account Managers.

     *  Disc file addresses and extent maps can be displayed only by the
        creator of the file and System and Account Managers.

     *  Privileged file codes can be displayed by System and Account
        Managers, and by the file's creator if assigned Privileged Mode
        capability.

 *  Only System and Account Managers can use wildcard characters (#, ?,
    and @) when specifying group and user names.  Any user can use the
    character @ when specifying file names.

 *  Only System Managers can use wildcards when specifying account names.

The LISTDIR5 command syntax and parameters are fully described in MPE V/E
Utilities Reference Manual (32033-90008).

=================================

So the command to use, within LISTDIR5 logged on as Manager.Sys, is:

LISTF dbutil.pub.sys;pass

Respected Ms. Johnson and Mr. Christidis:
DBBUTIL wins!
It's my turn to execute
your advices.
Just one more question then I close the thread.
I know the password of the system manager, but I forgot the password of
dbutil. If I remember well, I can printout the file passwords by
listdir5.pub.sys.

Off topic PS:
Do you know somebody who is going to visit Hungary and to return home
before Christmas?
Little business: We'll show her/him anything she wants in Hungary.
She/he would be so kind to bring home some presents to my friends in the
USA (2 or 3 small but maybe fragile packets).
                                             TIA
