    vince,
    
    i just got off a call, (and elevated it with an IPMT), where the
    customer is running dunix v4.0b/c2 security, and decnet/osi v4.0a.
    if we try to dlogin from another system, we get "remote node says
    node unreachable"  if we try a dlogin 0, we get dlogin timed out.
    the daemon.log files shows the dnascd process craping out with
    ex_tempfail and ex_dataerr.  from history, we changed the user name
    in the sesscion control application cterm from daemon to root..  low\
    and behold, we can now dlogin into the system.  same temporary fix as
    before.  the permanent fix about two years ago was a new libsecurity.so
    file.  looks like we might need another one..

    John,
    
    As I recall, the problem originally (a long time ago) was that
    dnascd was actually core dumping because of a bug in the
    security library.  The library bug is supposed to be fixed now,
    and unless you are actually getting core dumps I think this
    is just a configuration issue.  Deneen put an update in the
    case, but basically you have to re-activate accounts after
    turning on C2.  That includes accounts used by dnascd.

2106.5vince is right..CSC32::J_WIELANDWed Jan 29 1997 13:0922
    vince is right...
    
    per the release notes...  (like some of us ever read them, and we
    should)
    
         2.1 Using DECnet with Enhanced Security
    
                  If enhanced security is enabled on a system running
                  DECnet, users may no longer be able to log into that
                  system via dlogin . This is because enhanced security
                  expires all accounts when it is enabled, including the
                  daemon account, which is the default account used by
                  DECnet for remote logins. To re-enable dlogin, either
                  activate the daemon account by resetting the password
                  or change the default account on the "session control
                  application cterm" entity to an active account.
    
    
    
    thanks vince..
