| When you did the format:
transport node user
Did you restart the server? This must be done in order to pick up
changes.
|
| 445.2 | Can the file be commeneted? | ATSEA::ELLISON | That is truly a wetbrain concept. | Tue Mar 21 1989 07:54 | 3 |
|
Can you use ! or something similar to comment DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT?
|
| 445.3 | still no solution | UTROFF::BROUWERS | | Tue Mar 21 1989 10:44 | 4 |
| yes, i did restart the server, but still it does't work.
may be you have an example ?
|
| 445.4 | it works.... | UTROFF::BROUWERS | | Tue Mar 21 1989 11:04 | 11 |
| hi,
during my multiple exercises i tried a lot of things. i ended with
the right string in the files, but with double quotes before and
after the strings
i changed it now and it works.
thanks for your help.
gerard.

I don't know what your problem is but this always works for me:
$ def/system decw$server_access_trusted/allowed <full file spec>
$ the file contain the following:
* * *
Side note: I'm only running the decwindows server when I do this, I've
shot the session manager.

| *PLEASE* everyone, be careful of * * *!!! This means that ANYONE can
write anything they like to your workstation screen while you are away.
I won't spell out the exact scenario I have in mind, but it should not
be too hard to imagine how one could steal information that the owner
did not want stolen when this is the case.
If you really want to do that, I certainly would not advertise the
fact that I did it in a notes file! Besides, it is much more
sensible to figure out exactly what you want to allow and specify that.

You have a good point, I don't use (* * *) in the file either for VMS,
I was using it as an example. Perhaps <transport type> <node_name> <username>
would have been a better choice.
(I thinks this is how it works, at least this is what I'm seeing) ---
For what it's worth -- while your running the session manager the
access_allowed list (validlist) you specified in the .dat file is replaced by
the access list the session manager maintains for you. When the session
manager comes up I believe it does a gethosts, then removes all the hosts in
the current validlist (removehosts). After which the session manager will do
a set of addhosts (defines the local nodes and whatever the user specified).
Once the last client disconnects and the server resets, the user supplied
access_allowed list and access_trusted lists are re-built.

| Sorry to be so dense but I don't understand the answer to the original
question, i.e. what is the correct format for these two files.
I created the files and put in them the single line:
* elric marshall
when I restarted the server (@sys$manager:decw$server restart), the
bloody thing does not restart but keeps flashing
Message number 02DB821C
in the operator window.
Only when I do not have these files will the thing restart. What am I
doing wrong?
thanks,
Sm

The local node is (almost) always named "0", a bit of baggage
deliberately inherited from DECnet's node zero. There is not much
point in using these files if you are using decw$startlogin/session
manager to manager your workstation as they will overide the files
(this is the source of the console message). Also, loginout comes
in under the SYSTEM account so something like "* 0 SYSTEM" should be
in the trusted list.

| It's easy to hang yourself with this stuff. You MUST include * 0 SYSTEM
in the TRUSTED file, or Loginout can't ever come up. These files replace
the default server values; they don't just add to them.

| Thanks, that seems to have done it.

| 445.13 | something similar for ultrix? | MINNIE::DOUG | to bless and not to curse | Mon May 08 1989 14:59 | 8 |
| does something similar to this exist for ultrix?
if not, is there anyway i can have an ultrix workstation sitting there
not running the session manager, and start the session manager from an
8300 running ultrix sitting somewhere else?
thanks -- dd

| Maybe you can explain in English what it is you are looking for. I
checked back a half-dozen replies in this topic and didn't see
anything that I understood.
You can't run the session manager remotely because it tries to
issue ChangeHost requests, which fail when done remotely. This is
a bug.

this answers my question, thank you.
perhaps you can suggest a course for me to take to gain as fine a
command of english as you so obviously have.
