In Response To: RE: 11.7 - REMOTE_SERVER_CFG (Knox, Ernest)

That brings again the permissions issue and it may open the door to allow
he users to establish non authorized trusts. Forget all that and use
REMOTE_SERVER_CFG... for years we listened complains from customers (just
complaints I may say). Now that it's solved, please don't look back!
This should be under DBA control.
