[comp.os.vms] VMS 4.7 PROCESS CONTROL

tenaglia@astroatc.UUCP (Chris Tenaglia) (01/29/88)

We recently installed VMS 4.7 on our 780. We also are testing some
novel communications equipment, so perhaps we have too many variables.
But one day as I was issuing DCL commands,my keys suddenly had no 
effect, and another user who just logged in as himself was suddenly
attached to my process. I could see his keystrokes echoing on my vt
but my keystrokes went to the bitbucket probably. He kindly logged me out
and when he relogged in again, his vt was still echoing on mine. I
hit BREAK a couple of times and became disconnected. I relogged in as
myself and continued normally thereafter. Has anybody else out there
noticed such an event?

Thanks much,

We have been running 4.7 for nearly a month now and its been fine.
It sounds like your communications equipment is goofing up, especially
since it persisted between log-ons.
