       /INHERIT_SECURITY
       /NOINHERIT_SECURITY (default)

    Controls whether the security profile (UIC, protection code, and
    ACL) of the renamed file is altered. If you specify /INHERIT_
    SECURITY, a new security profile is generated, as if a new file
    had been created with the new file and directory names. Refer to
    the OpenVMS Guide to System Security or online help (Hints topic)
    for a description of how a profile is assigned.
