3453.0. "DECterms won't start" by MDCRAB::GAVAZZI (Open the POD doors H.A.L.-- HAL?) Wed Oct 10 1990 21:59

    I have recently had some trouble creating DECterms, Fileviews, or any
    other DECwindows application for that matter. The session manager comes
    up fine and I even get a BANNER session from a DECW$LOGIN.COM. However,
    if I can't seem to get anything else going. I can log in as any other
    valid account and everything is fine.
    
    I have done the following:
    
    	Deleted all decw$*.dat files from sys$login
    	Deleted and recreated the account in SYSUAF
    	Created a new empty directory
    
    I then logged in via character cell, and entered the following command
    while simultaneously logged via DECWindows, with these results:
    
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=NATTY
$ CREATE/TERM=DECTERM
%NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 02DBC002
%SYSTEM-F-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name
    
    
    I know that I somehow brought this on myself by changing something
    somewhere, but I can't for the life of me figure this one out. Can
    anyone offer any advise?

You're probably doing something like SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE or reading from
SYS$INPUT in your LOGIN.COM.

Message 02DBC002 is %DECW-E-CANT_OPEN_DISPL, Can't open display, as you
can see by giving the DCL command SET MESSAGE SYS$MESSAGE:DECW$TERMINALMSG
followed by EXIT %X02DBC002.  Is the new account enabled in your security
list?
