And perhaps you need to change the actual time on the system:
$ set time="28-AUG-2011"
$ set time="21:36"

$ @SYS$MANAGER:UTC$TIME_SETUP :-)
Then you may also do the following:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS
$ NTPDATE <ntp.server.of.your.choice>

Having (with some difficulty) connected GORVAX and RHESUS to an Arcsight log monitoring beast (think SAP meets Splunk) I notice all my events' end times are off by a consistent number of hours..
I believe this is due to the time zone info (which I never bothered to look into) being wrong.
How do I change the time zone of a VMS box?

I have the VMS 7.3 for VAX, what I don't have are the patches.

How about pulling down VMS 7.3 for VAX?

Jur has just posted back my hard drive with his entire DECUS & freeware
archive - hopefully I can make this available to the HECnet community in
its entirety via the magic of decnet...
I'm also trying to sort out my HP patch database access, so if there are
any requests feel free to ask. I am planning on pulling down all patches
for OpenVMS VAX 7.3.1, Alpha 8.3 and IA64 8.3-1H1.
Regards, Mark.

Xenophobia is not the same as lack of experience. The VMS development team in the USA is extinct. The guys in India are first rate software engineers (they ought to be to find their way in the VMS codebase) but their perspective on how the os should behave and what they observe is markedly different. Read the discussion in comp.os.vms on changes in the DIRECTORY command.
The Indian team made changes that are probably more in line with newer commands but broke old code that had been stable for decades.
The bottomline is that I expect my alphas to stay on 8.3, probably as long as the VAXes will remain on 7.3.
I have no IA64 systems (luckily, reading Sampsas problems :-) so no ideas there other than that IA64/VMS 8.3 is the production quality release at this point in time.

Mark,
If you still have access to the HP patch database then I'd suggest these OS versions:
VAX/VMS 7.3
Alpha/VMS. 7.3.
7.3-2
8.3
8.4
IA64/VMS. 8.3
8.4
TCP/IP : all versions -please-
The reasoning behind the VMS versions is simple. The AXP variants are the "stable" ones, though I have my doubts regarding 8.4. I guess that 7.3-2 and 8.3 cover a substantial fraction of all hobbyist sites.
Hobbyists with a VAX run everything for fun but if the VAX is still used for serious work it'll run 7.3.
I'm clueless about what is en vogue in Itanium land.
Personally I'd like to install the latest patches for the IP stack.
Hans
Hans,
I'll bear your comments in mind thanks...
When I spoke to Stephen Hoffman about which version of Alpha OpenVMS to
install I was told to stick to 8.3 unless I wanted to get into a large
amount of patching. I think the quality of 8.4 probably reflects the
wholesale move of OpenVMS development from the USA to India. Please
don't take that as xenophobia - merely a reflection on the loss of a
good deal of long-time VMS talent. Hopefully future releases will
benefit from the increasing knowledge of the new team.
IA64 VMS, AFAIK, is a similar scenario.
