[HECnet] Multiple nodes failing NICE in the same way

[Keith Halewood]

Try 29.115 - it’s also running the raspbian DECnet with nml2 and fal2 code.

 Just to be clear: this isn't causing any problems, it's just an oddity in the scan processing.  I wanted to make sure I'm not doing something incorrect.

The only part that's at all a (future) concern is the connect accept with no data, because that's supposed to be the version number and I'm working on some enhancements that will actually care about what the version number is.

MAGPIE is running John Forecast’s RaspbianDECnet.  I’ll shut it down.  I think it tries to use the nobody account - when it should probably have its own decent account.  Later on today I’ll have a look into this.

My network scanner is getting very strange responses from three different nodes all misbehaving the same way: CAIR, MAGPIE, and FARGO.

What I see is:

1. The connection to object 19 (NICE, the network management listener) is accepted, but the version number that is supposed to be sent as part of the accept is missing.

2. When I send a NICE request to the node, I get back a message with this content:

<28>Nov 12 20:35:16 dnetd[1688]: Cannot chdir to /nonexistent : No such file or directory\n\xff\x00\x00

All three nodes do this.  Configuration error that just happens to exist on all three?
