I know absolutely nothing about DEC's Distributed Queuing, BUT:
I would be very suspicious of that part of the startup file having to
be executed every time your system boots. Once that object has been
defined in your permanent DECnet database (which is what the DEFINE
does), you should only ever have to do a SET KNOWN OBJECTS ALL on
startup after that. Unless you wipe out your database, of course.
But since it is kept on disk, system reboots won't do that. Check
with someone else who is running DSQ to be sure, but it would be my
guess that you could delete the DEFINE part after it has been done
once. And the SET statement should not need the password in it
(in fact, your standard sys$manager:startnet.com file provided with
DECnet should look after the SET anyway).
Hope this makes you rest a little easier.
