OK, so who is "SANYAL" at node 1.550? If you'd like an account on my RSTS/E
system, all you need do is ask. I'm one of those sys admins who actually
reads his event logs. :)

Hi Mark,
I have DCL script generating this web page once a week - perhaps you see this pinging your
system? Or maybe I was looking for a guest account many months ago for some reason I can?t
remember.

This was a recent attempt. It's not a huge big deal. I don't have public
guest accounts, but I would make someone a personal account if they asked
nicely.
Honestly mapping the whole network seems a little redundant, since Johnny
already does that and the information is reasonably up to date on his web
site.

Mark - this makes me a bit worried since I have not had a chance to get on HECnet for at
least a month. What was the date/time you see logged?

Well, that's not really true. I do not map, or try to keep some kind of
map of HECnet. I have my nodename database, which is entirely voluntary
to register nodes in, and I know that not all nodes on HECnet are in there.
In addition, this does not give much clue about how things are
connected, and for some machines, nothing more than the owner, name and
number is registered.
That said, I do not think it is realistic to automatically try to map
out HECnet anyway, so I think that any such attempts should be thought
about a second time, and probably be abandoned.
There are several problems with trying any kind of mapping. The first is
that there are no proper protocol that is suitable. NICE would be the
obvious first choice, but for example Cisco routers do not provide NICE
at all. And so, you can not traverse and follow connections that way.
There are no other way of just exploring what connections exist, so then
we instead have to resort to an exhaustive search of all node numbers,
using all kind of protocols a machine *might* answer to, which will
trigger all kind of logging events and possibly security systems getting
activated, which is not good.
Some kind of voluntary system is the only acceptable option I think. If
people want to, that could be a way. Possibly using FAL to explore and
find other nodes, but it would have to be based on lists of machines to
probe, which would need to be manually kept up to date.
Similar things have been attempted in the past, with mixed to poor
results, I would say.

Hi,
Regarding the mapping, you may have noticed the odd NML (I think) originating from here.
I've been parsing the output of areas, circuit/node/area adjacency and then the
script, such as it is, hops around and attempts the 'next stage' of discovery via
tell <node of interest> etc..
It has its obvious limitations - a snapshot of currently connected, lowest cost adjacency
(nodes and areas) but of course if a 'tell' is rebuffed by a node, then I can only
infer.
Regards,
Keith

Hi,
This is the sort of information I'm after (see attachment). A basic area connectivity
map.
X is just the same area connectivity
Y means there's direct evidence of area adjacency
R means there's indirect evidence, ie. a->b implies b->a but I can't see the
area list from b
? means 'maybe' somewhere here if only I could see from another node
So area 1 (row) is adjacent to itself (X) and areas 2,3,5,7,8,14,19,28,30,39,42,59 and 62
(Y)
Keith
PS. I sent the map as a screen image of my putty terminal because of non-fixed-width
characters etc..

DECnet/E definitely implements NICE, has from the beginning (i.e., from when DECnet/E 2.0
which is the Phase III release was first shipped).
However, it need not be enabled as a known object. And if enabled, it may or may not
accept connections without access control variables (PPN/password). If not, you'll
get a reject indicating either no such object or bad access control. However, if the
connection is accepted you should find a full implementation.
Of course mapping information exists only in routers; if the node you're talking to is
an endnode it will only tell you who the adjacent designated router is (or the adjacent
nodes, on point to point circuits).

If it's not enabled I'd expect an error. Network resources is a bit odd.
Possibly there is a default account defined but that account doesn't exist, or is
configured as "no network connections allowed".

RSTS/E doesn't support CTERM, only the older OS-specific procotol. That doesn't
involve DECnet credential checking (instead you get a RSTS login prompt).

By the way, Steve. What version of RSTS/E?
I noticed another "odd" thing here.
.set /host=pluto

The first message from the responding node contains OS and protocol identifiers. The

protocols respectively (for 1 and up). TOPS-20 is also used by RT-11; I forgot what
Ultrix uses, either RSTS or TOPS-20 protocol I think.
If you run the "official" network terminal client on RSTS, it will give you a
very similar message when connecting to non-RSTS because only the RSTS protocol was
officially supported. But the "netuns" client supports all four. I have a
summary of all four protocols somewhere which I used to extend the DECnet/Linux client; or
you could use that code as a reference implementation if you need one.

Hi all. I thought I'd just make a final report on this story.
This turned out to be a combination of two issues.
1) There is a bug in the RSX kernel, which can cause crashed by any
program, if they just do the right (wrong) thing. I've known about this
problem for quite a while, and it has been fixed in my non-released
RSX-11M-PLUS V5.0. So if that ever goes out, this problem is no more.
2) There was a bug in the program to connect to RSTS/E from RSX
explicitly, which triggered the #1 bug. This bug I have now fixed as
well, so the program works fine, even on older versions of RSX. When
that bug was introduced, I have no idea. I would assume that it wasn't
there from the start, or I would have expected that DEC would have noticed.
Anyway, all is good. And if someone wants to, they can fetch the fixed
RRS program from MIM::DU:[5,54]RRS.TSK

FWIW, I don't believe any changes in the RSTS rterm protocol were made in a very long
time, if ever. Certainly I can't imagine that V9.x vs. V10.x would make any
difference.

Um... Yes... And for RSX there is a program called RRS, which is used to
connect to RSTS/E systems. Crashes the RSX system at program exit, like
I said...

DECnet/E definitely implements NICE, has from the beginning (i.e., from
when DECnet/E 2.0 which is the Phase III release was first shipped).
However, it need not be enabled as a known object. And if enabled, it
may or may not accept connections without access control variables
(PPN/password). If not, you'll get a reject indicating either no such
object or bad access control. However, if the connection is accepted you

Of course mapping information exists only in routers; if the node
you're talking to is an endnode it will only tell you who the adjacent
designated router is (or the adjacent nodes, on point to point circuits).
In this case not enabled then, I think. Thanks for clarifying that it

This would be NICE, which is object 19. I do not get any response when I
try to talk NICE to MARDUK. I'm also not providing any authentication

that DECnet on your machine is using.
I'm kindof wondering why I'm not getting any response to NICE requests.
But, as noted before, I do get an network resources error. If I had an

And this is FAL. Same kind of error on my side. Same story as well. I do

Object 42 is CTERM, if I remember and see right. So no surprise that you
see that error then, as Paul pointed out that RSTS/E don't support CTERM.

Object 23 is the predecessor of CTERM. I'm not entirely sure of the name
of that protocol. Anyway, I never logged in. Using the normal RSX
program for connecting gives me a protocol error. Using the RSTS/E

But I never logged in. But I guess the user here is just under which the

Incidentally there is no PPN of 61,1 on my system

It would be interesting to find out why it is trying to run all those
services under that PPN then.

map of HECnet. I have my nodename database, which is entirely voluntary
to register nodes in, and I know that not all nodes on HECnet are in there.
In addition, this does not give much clue about how things are
connected, and for some machines, nothing more than the owner, name and
number is registered.
That said, I do not think it is realistic to automatically try to map
out HECnet anyway, so I think that any such attempts should be thought
about a second time, and probably be abandoned.
There are several problems with trying any kind of mapping. The first is
that there are no proper protocol that is suitable. NICE would be the
obvious first choice, but for example Cisco routers do not provide NICE
at all. And so, you can not traverse and follow connections that way.
There are no other way of just exploring what connections exist, so then
we instead have to resort to an exhaustive search of all node numbers,
using all kind of protocols a machine *might* answer to, which will
trigger all kind of logging events and possibly security systems getting
activated, which is not good.
Some kind of voluntary system is the only acceptable option I think. If
people want to, that could be a way. Possibly using FAL to explore and
find other nodes, but it would have to be based on lists of machines to
probe, which would need to be manually kept up to date.
Similar things have been attempted in the past, with mixed to poor
results, I would say.

Hi Mark,
I have DCL script generating this web page once a week - perhaps you
see this pinging your system? Or maybe I was looking for a guest
account many months ago for some reason I can?t remember.

OK, so who is "SANYAL" at node
1.550? If you'd like an account on
my RSTS/E system, all you need do is ask. I'm one of those sys
admins who actually reads his event logs. :)
