The Question is:

 
Hi Hoff!
 
Full fresh install of 6.2 on a VAX 4000/500 with Motif 1.2-4 and patches.
LAT & DECNET only. Trying to start an X-session from a VXT2000.
 
Everything is default. NCP database knows the nodes. Try to open a LAT X
session.
VXT message box reads LAT: Host does not support X Sessions.
Try to open a DECNET X session. VXT Message box says:  DECnet X Session:
Host/network not responding.
 
Also on a DECNET X session attempt, I get an OPCOM:
 
Message from user AUDIT$SERVER on node GOBLIN yada yada alarm event,
Auditable event:    Network login failure
Time:
PID                 00000235
Process name        NET_8231
Username            ILLEGAL
Remote nodename     VXT151
Remote node id      2799 (2.751)
Remote username     VXT
Status              %LOGIN-F-NOSUCHUSER, no such user
 
The UAF file has only the default accounts, DECterms work from the VXT, both
in DECNET and LAT.
No customizations to the DECWindows files. One proxy enabled, queues not
started, no batch queue.
VMS BASE, VMS USER, DVNETEND, and DW-MOTIF are the only licenses loaded.
 
PRobably something stupid, I know, but lend me a hand, will ya? LAstly,
whats the best book for working through
these kind of problems.
 
Thanks!!!!

The Answer is :

 
  Please see the VXT documentation available on the OpenVMS Freeware V4.0
  distribution, included with the OpenVMS V7.2 distribution kit.

  The OpenVMS Freeware V4.0 has just been made available, and is becoming
  available at various spots around the web.
