I have a customer who use the following method to secure the NML object.
$NCP SHOW OBJ NML CHAR
Object Volatile Characteristics as of 18-OCT-1991 13:59:00
Object = NML
Number = 19
File id = NML.EXE
User id = NML$SERVER
Password = ZAWTSALLCA
The NML$SERVER user exists but the password in UAF doesn't match the one on the
object. Instead they have created a new account NET$SERVER wich has to be
specified at all NML acceses. With ncp this works fine.
$ NCP tell stkmcc"net$server skrivbord" sh exe
Node Volatile Summary as of 18-OCT-1991 14:04:52
Executor node = 50.111 (STKMCC)
State = on
Identification = DECnet-VAX V5.4-1, VMS V5.4-2
Active links = 2
But the same command in MCC gives the following result.
MAN/ENT
DECmcc (V1.1.0)
MCC> show node4 stkmcc all status , by user net$server, by password skrivbord
Node4 stkmcc
AT 18-OCT-1991 13:58:36 Status
Access control information invalid at Node
I have reproduced the problem on my node STKMCC (VMS 5.4-2) it is on easynet.
What is the problem here ??

Yes, you found a problem and we've fixed it for v1.2.
What's happening is when you make a request, the NODE4 firsts asks
the entity to show idents. This is part of its cluster checking routine.
After that checking has completed it will issue the request specified
on the command line. The cluster checking routine was not using the
"by user, by password" access control data and was failing.
