I decided to try looking at Charon-AXP NCE again and did have much better luck with it myself this time. I'm glad this topic came up.
then I mounted the OpenVMS Hobbyist
Alpha CD on the simulated CDROM and re-installed my own OpenVMS.
I ran into some strange problems with my Alpha CD. I was told that there were "bad blocks" found in the PCSI database during verification. The machine came up, so it appears to be okay, but I don't know that my installation completed successfully. I tried reimaging the CD I have into fresh ISOs, but they all come out the same. I wonder whether your version is somehow different from mine.
Whenever I try any outgoing connection from the emulated Charon-AXP
system, I always get "network communication error" and "network partner
aborted logical link". No outgoing connection seems to work; not SET HOST,
not FAL, not NCP, nothing.
It seems to be working fine for me in both directions.
One thing that I did that may be useful is that I preconfigured my eth1 interface with the expected (computed) hardware address for my DECnet address (I'm using 2.213 for my new system called ANDY). For my Ubuntu system, I have this file in /etc/network/interfaces:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# The trailing zone network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 hw ether aa:00:04:00:d5:08
I don't know whether this is required, but I did see in the either in the log file or in the startup messages that Charon-AXP did seem to pay attention to the interface's hardware address. Maybe you should try that and see if that improves things.

Guys -
Sorry to bother you with a question, but I was wondering if anyone who had
tried Charon-AXP-nce was successful at getting DECnet running on OVMS 8.3
under the Charon emulation?
I installed Charon-AXP-nce (no sweat there, and thanks for the pointer to
it). It boots and runs OVMS8.3 just fine. First I used their sample
pre-installed system disk image, and then I mounted the OpenVMS Hobbyist
Alpha CD on the simulated CDROM and re-installed my own OpenVMS. Registered
hobbyist licenses, etc. No problems.
Then I installed a second Ethernet card on my Linux host system. Had a
little bit of trouble getting udev, Network Manager and DECnet/Linux to all
cooperate on which interfaces to name and use, but I eventually got that all
straightened out. Now I have an eth1 device which nobody on the Linux host
is messing with. I modified the start_es40_nce to use eth1 for EWA0. It
appears to work - I can start DECnet on the emulated OVMS system, and I get
circuit up and adjacency up events from DECnet. Looks great, but...
Whenever I try any outgoing connection from the emulated Charon-AXP
system, I always get "network communication error" and "network partner
aborted logical link". No outgoing connection seems to work; not SET HOST,
not FAL, not NCP, nothing.
BUT the really weird thing is that it works in the other direction. I can
go to CODA (a real Alpha system) and SET HOST to the Charon emulated system.
That works just fine, as does NCP, FAL, etc as _inbound_ connections.
Has anybody seen this behavior with DECnet before, either under emulation
or on real hardware? What could cause this?
Thanks,
Bob
You could try to blag a hobbyist license of SYSGEM...

Dear All,
I'm looking for some ideas about logging user activity for a guest account.
Up until now I've used image accounting and a batch job doing some cleanup
at every month end (old accounting file closure, guest records extraction,
compression, deletion, etc.), but I'm not very satisfied.
What I'm thinking about is something like .bash_history in Linux and such,
but I cannot figure out how to accomplish something similar either with a
user-written program or with some DCL code and system facilities.
I do know that this wouldn't be a very tight security feature, and anyway
the overall control over the guest account is already quite effective
(/RESTRICTED flag, specific group UIC and login procedure, good ACLs on
TCP/IP, increased system audit, and so on), but I'm just curious about what
guests do when they enter our systems. So, a log of the commands entered at
the DCL prompt would be a very nice bonus and would be also useful to spot
both possible silly break attempts and areas needing improved security.
Any suggestions? :)
Thank you,
G.

Sampsa,
First check to make sure the image exists where it needs to. Second,
check using "INSTALL" that the sharable image is installed.

Subject: [HECnet] Python on IA64?
Anyone managed to get Python working on Integrity? I keep getting this

to run Python. I've installed LIBBZ2 already...)
