26.0. "V2.4 --> V3.0 upgrade -- DDS not started" by BREAKR::MIKKELSON (No man is a three-mile island.) Mon Feb 17 1992 19:29

    Before upgrading our V2.4 ALL-IN-1 system to V3.0, I upgraded our
    message router to V3.2.  Now, when I try to upgrade ALL-IN-1 using the
    SSB kit, I get a message telling me that the "Mail Directory Service
    has not been started /or installed."  As far as I can tell, all the
    appropriate DDS processes are running, and I can go into MBMAN and
    display the DDS entries, so I'm not sure what the installation is
    complaining about.  Could someone perhaps explain just what the
    installation looks for in determining whether or not the Directory
    Service is running, so I can get an idea about where to start looking?
    
    Thanks,

    David,
    
    Your starter for 10 is to answer the following two questions:
    
    1) what is the result of:
    $MC MBMAN
    MBMAN> SHOW DDS STATUS
    
    2) Is object 55 in NCP?
    
    Actually it's more clever than that but i'm sure that you can explode
    KICHKMR.COM as well as anyone else.         
    
    Regards,

    %MB-S-DDSSUCCESS, DDS is initialized
    
    >2) Is object 55 in NCP?
    
    Object       No        File/PID       User ID
    
    DDSLSTN      55      DDS$LSTN.EXE      DDSNET
    
    
    Looks okay to me . . .

    David,        
    
    I don't really want to post code from an unreleased product in this
    notesfile but if you'd like to try:
    
    $BACKUP/SELECT=kichkmr.com <DIRECTORY>A1030.A/save
    
    and then look for the label "OOPS_NO_DDS" you'll see exactly what
    whizzo techie DCL is at play here.

    Ah, yes -- a case of mismatched AUTHORIZE/NCP passwords for the DDSLSTN
    object (the 795 login failures for the DDSNET account was a subtle
    hint).
    
    Thanks,
