From: Provan@LLL-MFE.ARPA ok, i give up. how do you get virtual terminals running so you can disconnect/connect? i've been told that it's a sysgen connect command, but i can't find it.

1. To enable you to use disconnectable terminals on your system,
(From the VMS 4.0 release notes, page 4-9):
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
CONNECT VTA0 /NOADAPTER /DRIVER=TTDRIVER
2. For the terminals you can then enable individual terminal lines that you
want to have the ability to disconnect with:
SET TERMINAL TTxx: /DISCONNECT /PERMANENT
The SET TERMINAL command must be done for a terminal that is not logged
in, i.e. you cannot set your own terminal disconnectable while you are
running.
If you want all your terminals to have this ability by default, you can
probably make that happen by setting the appropriate bit in the
SYSGEN parameter TTY_DEFCHAR2 (hex 20000).

From: Ronald A. Jarrell <JARRELLRA@VPIVAX3.BITNET> connect vta0/noadapter/driver=ttdriver Then you have to do a SET TERM/DISCONN on each terminal that you want to be able to do that, before the user logs into it. -Ron

From: Mark Johnson <MHJohnson@HI-MULTICS.ARPA> Also note that this is a function of the TTDRIVER. I don't think you get this nifty disconnect feature for any network terminals such as the _RTxx (DECNET) and _NWxx (VAX PSI) terminals. Oh well, network terminals are non-compatible enough to make me tear my hair out already, here is something else to warn people about. --Mark Johnson <MHJohnson @ HI-MULTICS>

ok, i give up. how do you get virtual terminals running so you can
disconnect/connect? i've been told that it's a sysgen connect command,
but i can't find it.
First, go into SYSGEN and issue the command:
CONNECT VTA0/NOADAPTER/DRIVER=TTDRIVER
This brings the VT devices to life. Now, for terminal nn to actually be
disconnectable, you need to do:
SET TERM/DISCONNECT TTnn:
Usually, you set this up /PERMANENT for all terminals in your SYSTARTUP
file.
For LT devices (LAT terminals), which are created dynamically, you have to
turn on the disconnectable bit in the TT$DEVCHAR2 (I think) default
terminal attributes sysgen parameter.
All of this is discussed in the I/O User's Guide (in the section on terminals)
and in the Utility book under SYSGEN.

When one enables virtual terminals for all ports, you lose the accounting information as to where a person logged in (physical port). This may or may not cause some security concerns. Doug Manatt LLNL L-233
