What would be the correct security settings for a directory that:

Thinking of setting this up on CHIMPY for people to store nifty stuff they find.

I read through the discussion, but didn't see any attempt at an analysis of this, so I'll try to make some comments here.

In comparison to Unix, protections in VMS (and RSX) work a little different.

Anyone can always create a file on a volume, unless the volume ownership and protection generally prevents you. File in VMS and RSX do not need to exist in any directory.
