If I remember correctly, you must tell it a port number for any remote bridge
or it will consider "silverback.sampsa.com" and such as a local device, which
obviously does not exist. Try appending ":4711" or whatever at the end of the
second line :)

Running 'bridge' as root in the VM?

Guys,
Thought someone might be interested in my 'the minimum you need to know'

OpenVMS:

Nice writeup. Maybe I shouldn't tell how easy it is under RSX... :-)

It's my feeling that it has been always like that, anyway I can certify that

P.S.: This V4.7 was obtained by upgrading a V4.6, so I'm assuming that even on
that release the behaviour would have been the same.
I would expect that if anything, the change would have happened between V3 and V4 of VMS. V3 had the same 9+3 filename length limits as RSX... (Started using VMS at V3.7 (I think it was), a long long time ago...)

Can't speak for RSX's problems, but for VMS none of this is true.

In RSX it is as I described, however...

Give it a try for yourself (there are lots of VMS systems on HECnet!).

That's legal. The longer story is that version numbers start with 1, and
";0" is shorthand for the most recent version. "FOO.TXT;" is just shorthand
for "FOO.TXT;0".
It's also legal to say "FOO.TXT;-1" meaning the previous version (i.e.
most recent -1), as is ";-2", ";-3", etc.
It's legal ";-0" too, meaning the oldest version available :)
Actually, in VMS (as well as in RSX), ;-1 means the oldest version available.
Around here is where VMS differs from TOPS-20.
;0 also have different meanings on TOPS-20 compared to VMS.
On VMS, ;0 means the most recent version if you open a file for reading. But if you try to create a file, ;0 means one higher than what exist right now.
In TOPS-20, unless my memory fails me, ;0 will overwrite the most recent version that do exist.
The ;-0, ;-1, ;-2, ;-3 and so on to refer to older versions is how I think TOPS-20 did it. I don't remember that there is a way of specifying something like that in VMS. I think you only have ;-1 and ;0 which are special. But I might be remembering wrong from playing too much with RSX. :-)
