In possibly related news, that fine upstanding IT journal The Register
reports that a US bodyshop has been given a $45K penalty "over claims
it discriminated against legal US residents by advertising only for
developers on H-1B visas." The comments are at least as interesting as
the article itself.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/02/h1_b_discrimination_doj_fine/

$45K is small fry compared to the business impact of a project which
fails due to hiring cheap cowboys.

Actually found on VMS V8.3 with help/mess dup (is this a bug?):

DUPLNAM,  duplicate name

Facility:     SYSTEM, System Services

Explanation:  This message can occur under either of the following
                 circumstances:

             o A process name specified in a request to create a process
               duplicates the name of an existing process executing with
               the same group number. Process names must be unique within
               a group.

             o A global section name specified in a request to create a
               global section duplicates the name of an existing global
               section within the system. Global section names must be
               unique within a group for group global sections or unique
               within the system for system global sections.


User Action: Specify an alternative process name or global section name.
           Check whether the existing process or global section with that
           name should be deleted. If so, use the DCL command STOP to
           delete the process or use the system service $DGBLSC to delete
           the global section.

Typo... extraneous "E"

A "technical" violation perhaps.  But I've always thought of the Canter 
& Siegel "Green Card" mailing as the first spam.

I think the TPU default USZ (RMS User Buffer siZe) currently is
min(2048,LRL)
Could be 2000

Of course not.
You are not listening!
(Only minor disrespect intented :-) :-)

Normal RMS (such as used by simple edit) does not do this.
It takes a DECCRTL or similar 'smart' tool, to mess this up.

You have an account on eisner (or an other system with perl) right?
Try this:

$ delete x.x.*
$ x :=3D x.x
$ perl -le "print qq($_ ) x $_ ** 3 for (1..10)" > 'x
$ write sys$output f$file(x,"MRS"), " ", f$file(x,"LRL")
$ def decc$default_lrl 255
$ perl -le "print qq($_ ) x $_ ** 3 for (1..10)" > 'x
$ write sys$output f$file(x,"MRS"), " ", f$file(x,"LRL")
$ set file/attribute=3Dmrs=3D255 'x
$ perl -le "print qq($_ ) x $_ ** 3 for (1..10)" > 'x
$ write sys$output f$file(x,"MRS"), " ", f$file(x,"LRL")

So let me ask again... Who / What wrote the file?

Cheers,
Hein.

I tend to forget to do that occasionally, with the result that BIND doesn't 
work properly.

When you use TCPIP$CONFIG to look at the core environment (option 1),
does it show domain, interfaces etc in a way that looks reasonable ?

If this all fails, suggest you look at:

$DIR SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP*.DAT*

the CONFIGURATION.DAT one contains your interface definitions. (stuff
done with SET CONF). It also contains which services are to be started
by default.

You could delete this file and re-run the TCPIP$CONFIG and repopulate
the core environment.

Are you able to PING ? Traceroute ? (@SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS
to define those commands).

Does TCPIP> SHOW DEV   provide any BG devices, or some error message ?

Does TCPIP> SHOW NAME provide any meaningful output ?

An invalid MAC address perhaps? Seems unlikely though.

I may try that.  I have noted that changing the HOST file is not as easy as
it used to be.  Removing entries is not straight-forward.  I may remove  
that
too.

Lots of BG devices

Yes, but it also has the old IPs for the servers,  rerunning BIND doesn't
remove them.

I am really not fond of these interfaces, very cumbersome.
