I'm always happy to take more users onto CHIMPY and the HILANT clusters - you think I should let people in comp.os.vms know about these?
Does anybody mind 'outsiders' getting access to HECnet?
I don't mind. Most will probably not explore the fact that there is a big DECnet behind the machines.
It is not that we are preventing people today either. It's just that there have never been much fuss about HECnet.
However, I can understand if some people feel worried about traffic and issues. If so, let us know, and we'll try to think of what to do.
This is why I manually vet the account requests - if the email address or name seem totally bullshit, I just ignore the request.
I get maybe 2-3 new users per week on each system..I personally don't want to let the Deathrow guys behind my firewall :)

I'd seriously consider picking Steven Hoffman's brains on this before opening a system up to the world.
I had thought about trying to get a VMS box collocated for a 'UK deathrow' experience but Hoff seriously put me off the idea ;)
And I think you have the same 'seat of your pants' mentality that I do, which probably isn't a win when you're looking to manage a public facing system (or at least a public facing system that the public know about!)

Hello!
Okay, since under an earlier agreement I am not allowed to blame something else.

As with most of these things, it's probably safe to assume that I am the

Did you telnet into CHIMPY last night? That would solve the mystery..

Of course I am more worried about the non-DEC stuff which could be 'pwned' using a VMS or Ultrix system as a beachhead.
That's my concern as well, I really don't want to put my HECnet stuff on a separate VLAN, right now it's on my internal network with all my other stuff.
You don't?
SLACKER! :)
Is it posible to deny an user access to the IP stack (either UCX or multinet)? If so, I would setup my guest accounts to 'decnet only' access.
I'd like to do this as well - if the user has no access to IP, I'd be happier to let pretty much anyone in.
I know you can do it with DECnet, but I don't know about IP. That would
be nifty if you could.

Hi
As you may or may not have noticed, we had a power outage so MIM and
DECnet bridge went down for a while.
Everything _should_ be back to normal now or soon.
