| I would really like to automatically allow connections for the same user
from anywhere in the cluster. However, this is not as easy as it sounds.
The main problem is reliably determining whether the DECnet connection is
from your own VAXcluster or not!
Check back in two months to see if this made it into DECwindows V3.
The chances aren't too good right now, but you never know...

In general terms, can you say what service(s) would ease the
problem?
[a network wide authentication service, of course, with full
knowledge of clusters
]
We can take this discussion off line, I you would like...

If we had a network-wide authentication service, then we could dispense
with nodenames and clusters altogether, and just do authentication based
on a network-wide username! In the very long term (more than a couple
years out), I think this is a possibility.
