A while back I was working on my MicroVAX and I had a few OS and hardware setbacks. I have finally gotten back to where I was before. So, I have a question for you VMS admins out there. I can log into my Microvax 3100 as SYSTEM remotely the FQDN is microvax3100.vintagecomputer.net. I am having issues adding new users. I remember asking about this problem a year ago and Brian helped me fix it at VCF E 12 I think, but I forget how he fixed it. I can create a user (for Evan K to try) and I can log in, but it immediately logs me out. I get the following error: Username: EKOBLENTZ Password: Welcome to VAX/VMS version V5.5-2 on node COBUCK Last interactive login on Thursday, 19-OCT-2017 15:14 %Sorry, your default device is unavailable for login, try again later... EKOBLENTZ logged out at 19-OCT-2017 15:14:38.56 I remember Brian S fixed this problem, and it's not a user setup issue within AUTH, there is something else I need to do to allow non SYSTEM users to log in. This is not a production server but I do have it up and running now, if anyone who can advise needs the SYSTEM password just send me an email and I will send to you. Please if you fix, I need to document the fix so I can know how to create a new user. Here is the process I am using: $ set process/privileges=all $ set default sys$system: $ run authorize UAF> show [100,*] /brief UAF> add EKOBLENTZ /uic=[100,30] /account=COBK UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /password=password UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /device=sys$sysdevice UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /directory=[EKOBLENTZ] UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /owner="Evan Koblentz" UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /nopwdexpir /flag=nodisuser UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /defprivileges=(TMPMBX, OPER, NETMBX) /privileges=(TMPMBX, OPER, NETMBX) UAF> modify EKOBLENTZ /flags=nodisuser UAF> exit $ create /directory /owner=[100,30] COBK$DATA:[COBK.PERSONAL.ekoblentz] /OWNER=[ekoblentz] SO...What else do I need to do? I know my SYSTARTUP_V5.COM is a little screwy (yes I am using VMS 5.2) and I need to clean it up, but I don't think the problem described above is related to the system start script. I seem to remember Brian going into a directory someplace and adding the user to a table or changing the system to allow a certain user to be able to log in. What I'd like is to allow any user I create by default to be allowed to log in, if they have the correct permissions as a user. Thanks Bill
