Yes. That is what I was suspecting. But I was thinking that this would
not ever be a proper error returned for the request. Which suggested to
me that something wasn't installed correctly.
But since I don't really know RSTS/E that well, I try to avoid making
any claims or statements about it. And just observe it looked "funny".

The "protection violation" message is a
standard RSTS message. It means that some OS request was made by a program and that
request was rejected because it requires privilege and the program/user does not have
that. I don't remember why the OS requests to query DECnet state require privilege;
perhaps because they are the same request as is used to change state, which obviously
needs to, or perhaps because some of the state is potentially sensitive and being more
selective in the access checking wasn't worth the trouble.
Disallowed anonymous access would show up differently, that would be a connection reject
with reject code 34 (authorization data not valid).

Well. I suspect any scraping would get the same effect I saw. On most any other machine
that don't allow anonymous access, you'd see something like:
.ncp tell jocke sho exec
NCP -- Show failed, Listener connect failed, access control rejected
But it might be that RSTS/E gives a result like that when no access. Just not what I
would have expected.
