The ability to remove nodes from the nodename database works fine in pretty much all OSes
I know of, except for the PDP-10 world.
In VMS and RSX, it's NCP CLEAR NODE node ALL, for example, for the current running
system. In VMS you use PURGE in NCP for the permanent database, while in RSX, you use
PURGE, but in CFE, which is the configuration file editor, for the permanent database.
I think RSTS/E does it all through NCP, like in VMS, but I guess Paul can tell for sure.
Correct. RSTS (DECnet/E) fairly closely follows the network management architecture, and
in particular it has the volatile and permanent database distinction and the ability to
add, delete, or modify in either with the standard syntax.
