1037.2I tried itCLAUDI::PETERSThu May 23 1991 19:4539
Thanks John, 

Note that the user will have to modify this procedure to look
for entries in directories other than the DNS root directory.

I tried the procedure and noticed a weird behavior.  The
DIR NODE * returns a DNS-NOCOMMUNICATION  error when there are 
no entities of that type registered.   Isn't that the
wrong error to return when the directory contains no objects
of that type?   Shouldn't it be UNKNOWN ENTRY? 

   Also, the follow is inconsistent behavior.  Why did
a directory of the NSSG directory respond with a NODE in the 
directory NSSG.PV???   Does the MCC directory command process 
all child DNS directories?   And, if that is true, then why
doesn't DIR NODE * not pick up ALL node objects in all directories.

claudi>> man/ent
DECmcc (V1.1.0)

MCC> dir node nssg.*

Node CLAUDI_NS:.nssg.pv.nultrx
AT 23-MAY-1991 16:28:31

Directory successful.
                                   Name = CLAUDI_NS:.nssg.pv.nultrx
                                Address = {{{Network Management -- CMIP or NICE,
                                             none}
                                            {DNA Phase V Session Control,
                                             Network Management}
                                     .
                                     .
                                    etc for the whole tower


But the com file is a great idea.  We need more configuration tools.  Maybe 
it (or a follow on) whould be added to the MCC_DNS_SETUP procedure.
