Hi, Refering back to notes entry 4604 and the autoconfiguration applications (IP and Phase IV). It appears that the phase iv one is still checking for the following dns files : sys$system:dns$control.exe sys$system:dns$control.bin sys$share:dns$lib.exe which don't exist on a wave II system, dns v2.0. Note 4604 was refering to EMS 2.2 (BMS 1.2) and i'm using BMS T1.3.1. Any ideas when this will be fixed. Bipin.

| 4693.2 | still same problem in mcc v1.4 | GIDDAY::CHONG | Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC | Wed Aug 16 1995 10:02 | 16 |
In V1.4 DECmcc DEcnet PhaseIV autodiscovery is still failing when DNS V2.0 is used. The command file MCC_WAN4_AUTOCONFIG.COM still checks for existance of the following files: sys$system:dns$control.exe sys$system:dns$config.bin sys$share:dns$lib.exe The latter 2 files nolonger exist on a V2 server. Anyone has a modified version that works ? andrew | |||||
| 4693.3 | Problem known, there is a workaround | DSVB03::TABONE | Thu Aug 17 1995 10:47 | 22 | |
Hello Andrew,
This problem is already registered in our IPMT database.
The customer support who met this problem applied the following workarounds to
bypass the problem.
1/ to run the autotopology options : dummy files named
sys$system:dns$control.exe, sys$system:dns$control.bin and
sys$share:dns$lib.exe have been created by hand. It seems that
DECmcc only checks their availability but doesn't try to use them.
2/ to register entities needing backtranslation directories : use of
sys$system:decnet_register.exe utility, option 10 ( Manage the
directory service ) then option 1 ( Create a directory to hold
registered node names ). You can then create all the needed
directories.
Hope this help you.
Regards,
Philippe

I have done this, no problem.

The problem with this is that the MCC_AUTOCONFIG_PREFIX.DAT file
must have the directories begin and end with a period. I created the
directories .domain, .ip and .dna_node but this is what I get when
executing the command file MCC_WAN4_AUTOCONFIG.COM.
$@MCC_WAN4_AUTOCONFIG.COM
Welcome to DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration
Type '?' for Help or 'Q' to Quit, at any of the prompts.
Checking the namespace. This will take a moment. Please
wait...
Error: The DECmcc Autoconfiguration prefix
file has not been set up properly.
The following directories have been specified
in the prefix file but do not exist in CSC_NS::
CSC_NS:.domain.
CSC_NS:.dna_node.
CSC_NS:.ip.
You may either create the above directories
in CSC_NS: or edit the
DECmcc Autoconfiguration prefix file
MCC_COMMON:MCC_AUTOCONFIG_PREFIX.DAT to match existing
directories in CSC_NS:.
DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration exiting under error
conditions.
o Press RETURN to exit:
and if I edit the prefix file to take out the period, the
autoconfiguration file complains the the prefixes are invalid.
All prefixes must end with a ".".
How do I get around that ?

Hello Andrew, Are you sure your system running MCC is member of the group mcc_users to have enough privilege ? Could you send me the result of the following commands : $ mc dns$control DNS> sho dir .ip DNS> sho dir .domain DNS> sho dir .dna_node if you run : $mc dnsbrowser do you see your directories ? Philippe | |||||
| 4693.6 | the problem is not access control | GIDDAY::CHONG | Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC | Wed Aug 23 1995 17:07 | 261 |
Philippe,
I can use dnsbrowser to look at the directories.
The problem is that the autodiscovery procedure complains that the directories
.ip. , .domain. , and .dna_node. do not exist. But there is noway to create
a directory name with a dot at the end of the name.
The directories .ip , .domain , and .dna_node certainly exists.
I do not use mcc_user group , the user .dna_node.hangmn.chong is a member of
group dna_registrar which has r,w,d,t,c for all directories (see attached
output).
There is no problems with node4 registration using the GUI or directory
creation using decnet_register.
The issue is not access control, the issue is the prefix file specifies
directories in a format that is not compatible with dns.
Below is the output of show dir for the 3 directories.
DNS> show dir .ip
