[HECnet] NETMAPPER login attempts?

[Zane Healy]

I figured that it was related, though I’m not sure you’re actually getting any info out of my nodes.  

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM  21-AUG-2020 21:47:09.28  %%%%%%%%%%%    (from node LNGTOM at 21-AUG-2020 22:42:30.55)

On a mildly related note, I now have a plugin for Nagios that will let me monitor the availability of systems that only run DECnet.  I’ll probably try to put together one for LAT in the near future.  While I was working on it last night, it correctly alerted me to HAM being down.
