Sure. In some sense. But I do find it slightly misleading to see a login 
failure, when in fact it was access to an object over DECnet that was 
happening.

The mechanism as such is the same in RSX, and I would assume also RSTS/E.
You make use of the same user database, along with associated passwords.
