2455.0. "autoconfig map quick questions" by MUTTON::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara) Mon Mar 02 1992 00:11

    Hi,


    
    Just a quick question... When using autoconfig for DECnet or IP why
    does one have to manually move the maps up from the subdirectory?
    And, more importantly short of droping a line on the domain and then
    saving it how is one supposed to know the file name to copy the map 
    to??
    
     Also, I read a previous discussion where someone asked whether it was
     possible to register your nodes as .DNA_NODE.MUTTON but list them on
     the map (using autoconfig) as just MUTTON.  At that point the answer
     was now.  Has 1.2 addressed this at all?

    Thanks!

If the answer to this question is no, is there any way to at least get
autoconfig to not put LOCAL_NS: on each node???

Thanks!

        This behavior of autoconfig will change for SSB version. 
	We will be copying the files to the area pointed to by the
	variable MCC_MAPS. (Its logical on VMS and Environmental
	variable on UX).
	This way when you open the domain you will always see it 
	connected.

	Not to worry! The default behavior of MCC will be that 
	the DECNET name will be displayed as against the full name.
	The functionality is working in the current base level that
	I am running.
