MCC asks you for the name of a Phase IV node, it gives my workstation
name, TLON, as a default. I didn't want to use TLON because
my workstation is a Phase V node and doesn't speak Phase IV.
So I entered NAC. The default namespace is the DEC namespace.
However, I get the error shown below. I can talk to NAC just fine
using the DEC namespace (I'm writing this note on NAC logged in from
my workstation). Shouldn't this bit be optional? or allow for
possibility of Phase V?
thx

It's also not needed anymore - it was in ut1.2.0 because registration
of NODE4 also causes registration of that node's lines and circuits,
whose subentity datatype is SIMPLENAME. In the SQL implementation of
the MIR, this caused another SQL table to be created (to mimic the
case semantics of DNS). That table needed to be owned by root so we
forced a dummy registration at installation.
The ndbm-mir doesn't have this problem so the whole mess can be
deleted.

OK, this question (and probably some others) will be removed before the next field test. | |||||
