Hello ! I have a customer who had VERY big problem with PCM 1.5 ( The wellknown RWAST bug...). I gave him the 1.6 FT kit and so far he is satisfied with the 1.6 release, ( he is aware of that this is field test ) . Now he have some minor problem and he asked me the following... " Hi I have run in to a minor (?) problem with console manager 1.6 FT. I have some console-ports for routers and other kind of communication equipment which is included in a separate group within PCM and that group is only accessible for the communications people. The communications people is ordinary, unprivileged users in VMS (PCM runs on an alpha 3k800s by the way) and this configuration worked with version 1.5. What happens in 1.6 FT is that when they start C3 the basemap shows all groups (including those who they have no access to) but systems are only shown in the communications group which is the only group that they have access to. All systems are gray (no connection) and when they try to connect to a system they get a message "PCM is not running", PCM is indeed running. I assumed that this is some kind of protection-problem, so I gave the communications people full system privileges. What happens now when they bring up C3 is that they can now only see the communications group and the system in that group and connections works just fine." ----------------- Is this a known problem ? / Bernt

Bernt, Have you rebooted since the install? We have changed the way the software works, we no longer install the images with privs, consequently, we need to grant write access to the PCM logical name table, now, this protection doesnt get changed on the name table yet at install time (We are currently fixing this for the next kit). So, either reboot, or, shut everything down, delete the CONSOLE$LOGICAL_NAMES table and then restart PCM. Cheers, Phil | |||||
