One way to debug a symbiont over a network is to get boss and the pseudo terminal driver. I modified boss not to spawn the subprocess then when you run boss if you hit return after starting a session you should get a normal login prompt. You can then put the logical into the system group table for the terminal end of the pseudo terminal and use that. I did this under vms 4.4 and the non security patched version of the pseudo terminal drivers. I think you should be able to get it to work with the current version if it dies with protection problems just open the pseudo terminals access after it is created (set dev tpan: /prot=w:rwed). Good luck. Angus. I did this without crashing or permanently wedging anything, I found it best not to use the multi session capability of boss tho. This means you want to use two terminals, two lat sessions should work just get the IO buffering away from the pseudo terminal. laidlaw@orion.rutgers.edu
