Sometimes unable to login via telnet?

» close window

The Question is:

 
It happens sometimes that one cannot make a telnet
or ftp connection to a production vax running
Decnet OSI 5.8. The connection is immediately
made, but one is never authenticated into the system,
i.e. one is never asked for a username or password.
If this happens and you do have an open session
to the vax, then everything seems normal, no unusual
errors in operator.log, no runaway processes, etc.
 
What can I check, or is this a known problem?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Wizard will assume that sufficient interactive logins
  (SET LOGIN/INTERACTIVE, or via symbol STARTUP$INTERACTIVE_LOGINS
  during SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM) and license units are available, that the
  SYSGEN parameter RJOBLIM is set to an appropriate value, and that
  sufficient process quotas are available.
 
  There is insufficient information here -- the OpenVMS Wizard would
  recommend upgrading to the current release and the appropriate ECO
  kit for both DECnet-Plus (formerly DECnet/OSI) and for TCP/IP Services.
  The OpenVMS Wizard would also recommend an upgrade to OpenVMS VAX V6.2
  or later, and the application of all mandatory OpenVMS ECO kits for
  the OpenVMS release in use.
 
  This could potentially be a problem with DECnet-Plus, with TCP/IP
  Services, or with some underlying component of OpenVMS security.
 
  If the problem persists, please contact the Compaq Customer Support
  Center -- you may need to provide the contents of a system crashdump
  after forcing a crash, when the problem next occurs.
