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.

Did any of you guys who are using that try running DECnet and/or
Multinet/UCX/etc on it? I notice that the release notes say "WARNING:
Ethernet adapter, which is assigned to CHARON, must not be used by
third-party programs." Does "third party programs" include the host Linux
OS and can I interpret that as meaning that you need a separate, dedicated,
Ethernet card for the Charon-AXP? Everything else looks pretty
straightforward...
Thanks again,

I think the reason for using dedicated NIC is very simple: it's used in non-promiscuous mode and all the changes
to mac address/mcast filters made by guest system affect physical NIC and may conflict with host OS.
Also, if you want to talk IP, you get into problems with the host, which also talks IP on the same NIC. Confusion easily follows...

I interpreted it to mean that it wants a dedicated network interface that it will simply passthrough to the virtual Alpha.
I wonder whether you could get away with setting up a pseudo network interface and have Linux manage sharing the physical interface.

Is anyone running OVMS 8.3 using the AlphaServer ES40 emulator

I was checking up on the status of the project a couple days ago. It looks like development has largely stopped as the lead developer is now working on a commercial product.

I'm looking for an Alpha emulator that runs under Linux. Simh doesn't do
it (no Alpha emulation) and Charon-AXP doesn't, AFAIK, run on a Linux host.
Are there any other Alpha emulators out there?
I'm using CHARON-AXP/ES40 NCE (http://www.stromasys.ch/downloads/alpha-virtualization/charon-axp-nce) for ES40 emulation.
It works fine, but requires Linux/amd64 and at least 2xCPU (or DualCore CPU) machine.
I tried to use emulator from www.es40.org, but it didn't even start :)
