Missing DECnet identifiers?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Help,
 
I have a machine which is missing the following rights:
 
NET$DECLAREOBJECT                %X91F50005      DYNAMIC
  NET$DECNETACCESS                 %X91F50007      DYNAMIC
  NET$DIAGNOSE                     %X91F50004      DYNAMIC
  NET$EXAMINE                      %X91F50001      DYNAMIC
  NET$MANAGE                       %X91F50002      DYNAMIC
  NET$POSTEVENT                    %X91F50008      DYNAMIC
  NET$REGISTERDNSOBJECT            %X91F50006      DYNAMIC
  NET$SECURITY                     %X91F50003      DYNAMIC
  NET$TRACEALL                     %X91F50009      DYNAMIC
  NET$TRACEALLREMOTE               %X91F5000B      DYNAMIC
  NET$TRACEHEADERS                 %X91F5000A      DYNAMIC
  NET$TRACEHEADERSREMOTE           %X91F5000C      DYNAMIC
 
as a result I can't access the machine using the openvms management console
for NT.  How do I set up these rights????
 
(The system password of the machine was lost and the machine was entered by
the back door - using the uafalternate command)
 
Thanks,
 
Walter McCann.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Management Station uses the DECnet Phase IV protocols
  to access the host system, not DECnet-Plus.
 
  For assistance in configuring the OpenVMS Management Station beyond
  that available in the documentation, please contact the Compaq Customer
  Support Center directly.  Expect to be asked specific details of the
  failure seen, error messages, versions, the specific translation of
  logical names such as RIGHTSLIST, etc.
 
  That said, these are DECnet-Plus identifiers, and are created upon
  installation of the DECnet-Plus product.  (A chapter on network and
  host security in the DECnet-Plus Network Management manual provides
  some specific information on these identifiers, and on what they mean.)
 
  First, ensure that DECnet-Plus has been installed and configured.
  As a quick check for the DECnet Phase currently installed, use:
 
    $! On a DECnet Phase IV system...
    $ x = f$getsyi("DECNET_VERSION")
    $ sho sym x
      X = "00040000"
 
    $! On a DECnet-Plus (Phase V) system...
    $ x = f$getsyi("DECNET_VERSION")
    $ sho sym x
      X = "00050D01"
 
  The former value indicates DECnet Phase IV, the latter a version
  of DECnet-Plus.  The key to differentiation is the upper word (the
  above have the digits "4" and "5" in the upper word, respectively).
  There can be variance in the less significant digits displayed.
 
  If you do not have DECnet-Plus installed, or if you do -- but lack
  the DECnet-Plus identifiers in the RIGHTSLIST -- then you will probably
  want to reinstall at least DECnet-Plus, as it is clear that the
  configuration is known to be corrupted (or incorrect) in at least
  one way, and is thus potentially corrupted (or incorrect) in various
  other ways.
