When using wildcards in nodenames, PEEK will skip accessing the network to watch processes on the current node. An exception to skipping network access for the local node occurs when there is an access control string in the wildcarded nodename specification, which does not match the current username. In this case, because the access control string requests a different username to do the watching, PEEK will use DECnet network access to PEEK on the local node. One can also force network access for the local node during a wildcarded nodename operation by specifying /FORCE_NETWORK_ACCESS on the command line, or by specifying the logical name WATCHER$FORCE_NETWORK_ACCESS as TRUE in any of the logical-name tables specified in LNM$PEEK_TABLE_SEARCH_LIST which is defined in PEEK_DEFAULTS.COM.
