Hello DUnixers !
Scenario :
AlphaServer 400, DU 4.0B, Decnet/Osi, X25
X25 calls first go to a DECnis via LLC2 and then are relayed to the
outside world.
Everything is working fine, with one exception :
We need to establish a X29 session against a special device attached to
the DECnis.
This device needs 'C0000000' as userdata.
Using wansetup advanced, we modified the x29login template to include
this userdata,
and other stuff like the destination DTE, DTE class, etc. Then we
started a trace from
another (VMS) system.
The problem is, the x29login command reads this template and calls the
appropiate DTE,
but always passes '01000000' as userdata. We traced at the LLC2 DTE
output and also
performed a remote trace on the LAPB DTE output on the DECnis, with the
same results
(so there is no problem at the x25 relay level).
We used an alternate template (x29login -t), same results.
Using x29login -u C0000000 doesn't work, in this case the userdata is
'01000000' plus the
hex representation of the C000000 string.
All the above stuff leads us to believe that this value is (incorrectly)
hardwired in the x29login
executable.
Can anybody with X25 expertise give us a clue or suggestion ?
Thank you very much, of course we'll summarize.
