DECnet for Linux V.2.5.68s working, with dnprogs version 2.65.
It is node RULLFL.
The daemons and utilities use decnet.conf with node information,
so something useful would be to create it from mim::nodenames.dat.
On a VAX, TYPEing it works well, but on the Linux machine, dntype
hangs after giving parts of the file; dndir mim:: works well.
Does anyone have dntype mim::nodenames.dat working properly (with
perhaps different versions of the above)?
I can't help, but I can report that trying to read a file from a Linux
machine on MIM also hangs after a while.
A big problem with the DECnet/Linux implementation is that the
developers only ever tested against VMS, and nothing else.
I've known for ages that it does not play well with RSX. But I do not
want to dig into the Linux implementation.
(The Linux DAP claims to be a VMS system, by the way, which is probably
also not a good idea. Better if it had claimed to be some Unix derivative.)
