[HECnet] Configuring py-decnet.

[R. Voorhorst]

L.S.


Is there something different with patch levels or otherwise?

After successful login on Rsts 10.1:

$ logout
SAVED ALL DISK FILES ON SY: 6784 BLOCKS IN USE
JOB 7 USER 1,2 LOGGED OFF KB24: AT 26-AUG-20 21:53   
6 OTHER USERS STILL LOGGED IN UNDER THIS ACCOUNT
SYSTEM RSTS V10.1-L RSTS/E V10.1
RUN TIME WAS .2 SECONDS
ELAPSED TIME WAS 1 MINUTE
GOOD EVENING






SWBU01::RRS -- Remote disconnect

SWBU01::RRS -- Control returned to node SWBU01::
        MOV     #20,R0

Best regards,

And to complement the picture a little more. On RSX, you need a program called RRS, which is provided among the "unsupported utilities" in the DECnet distribution.

.rrs elvira
