The Question is:
DISCONNECTS WITH DEC TERM WINDOWS
This problem is happening on an Alpha Server 2100A 5/300 running Open VMS 7.1
and DECwin motif 1.2.4. Every time a DECterm window is opened a disconnected
process is created with a terminal type of MBAxxx. You can see this
information with the SHOW USER
/FULL command. It shows the MBAxx(mailbox) devices associated with DEC window
Session Manager applications as disconnected. Per the Open VMS Guide to
System Security you can create a listener mailbox device to receive a binary
copy of all security audit
ing messages. The manual does say that the device-name given to the listener
devices in MBAxx. Most of the time these processes die at logout but there
are too many times that I cannot kill these processes and no one can log on so
I have to reboot the m
achine. On your web site I found a workaround and that was to disable the
listener mailbox device with the command SET
AUDIT/NOLISTENER=<listener-device-name>. When I do a SHOW LOG I see
"audsrv$control_mailbox" = "_mba11:" To get the listenerdevice-na
me I used the command
WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETDVI ("MBA11" , "FULLDEVNAM") It came back with
_zeus$mba11: I tried the command
SET AUDIT/NOLISTENER=ZEUS$MBA11:
SET AUDIT/NOLISTENER=_ZEUS$MBA11:
SET AUDIT/NOLISTENER I got the following error each time:
SET-E-VERIFY, SPECIFIED OPERATION WAS NOT PERFORMED
DUE TO THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
AUDSER-W-REQPKTINV, REQUIRED PACKET MISSING OR
INVALID; REQUESTER PID 000000
I tried to find some information about the error message on your web site but
was unsuccessful.
How do I disable the audit listener so we do not create a new mailbox device
each time we open a DECterm window?
The Answer is : Please move to OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 and to a more current release of DECwindows Motif, or apply the available ECO for DECwindows Motif. If the problem -- the reported hang -- persists with the more current releases and current ECo kits installed, please contact Compaq Customer Support Center.
