When I try to use NCP in DECnet-Ultrix in order to let a object have another default user account it is impossible, due to the fact that NCP returns a syntax error (e.g. default user unknow keyword). This also happens if I let NCP prompt me. Is there a patch to cure this ? cheers Jens Trier Rasmussen jenst@cernvax.cern.ch

What is the exact command syntax ncp define object XXX default user YYY where YYY is the name of an existant user and XXX is the network management name for the object (ie. like fal)? If the above was the syntax you used that wouldn't work, please specify hardware type (ie, VAX or RISC) and software version numbers (ie. V2.2, V3.0, ...). /--------------------------------------------------------------\ |Jeff Michaud michaud@decwrl.dec.com michaud@decvax.dec.com| |DECnet-ULTRIX #include <standard/disclaimer.h> | \--------------------------------------------------------------/

V2.2, V3.0, ...). Sorry about the missing details. I'm trying it on DECnet-Ultrix v3.0 VAX and DECnet-Ultrix v3.0a RISC. But I think that I have found the reason why it fails for me. The reason is that I wanted to use a non-existant user as the default user in order to disallow access to that object and also in order to be able to allow it quickly again. cheers jens PS: What Jeff writes above (the ncp command) does work here as well !
