I've had alot of progress with HECnet connection,
I created another VM
to run linux and pydecnet then proceeded to activate the connection to
HECnet. It all works very well and I have full functioning access. Hit
me up with email to GUARD::MBROWN
There is only one problem I have left, how do I enter the details in
NODENAMES.DAT into the local name lookup. This will be one of those
Phase V problems as previousely griped about. Phase V uses mcr
decnet_register to enter host names and I have done that for a handfull
of commonly used hosts, but I have no Idea how I could do this with the
nodenames.dat file.
I wonder how you yourselves do this with Phase 4, I might be able to get
a clue if I knew how you did this trick in the first place.
As Rob Jarrat mentioned, in phase IV you can just copy the nodename
database from another machine using NCP.
However, I have a solution for you. Grab MIM::HECNET:FIX.PHV and run
that. It should define every node for you in a phase V way.
(It's a DCL script)
I create similar scripts for pretty much any OS every time I update the db.
