I’m trying to get mail working from my latest Linux DECnet release to OopenVMS with the
intention of eventually upgrading to the mail11v3 protocol. I’m running an up to date
version of VAX OpenVMS V7.3 with all patches I’ve found on a recent download of OpenSimh
on a really slow ARM system. The system has a default DECnet account as well as a
MAIL$SERVER account. Whenever I try to send e-mail, the connection is rejected with a “No
such user” error:
Auditable event: Network login failure
Event time: 29-NOV-2023 10:14:32.96
PID: 00000098
Process name: MAIL_8198
Username: DECNET
Remote node id: 42186 (41.202)
Remote username: Linux0000
Status: %LOGIN-F-NOSUCHUSER, no such user
I also get the same rejection error if I try to connect to FAL with no access control
information. However, if I connect to FAL using the explicit nonpriviledged
userid/password returned by NCP, everything works as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John.
