Action: Try to create the DECterm and display additional information by invoking the following commands:
$ SHOW LOGICAL DECW$DISPLAY
$ SHOW DISPLAY
$ MULTINET NSLOOKUP domain_name_from_show_display
$ RUN DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO
The SHOW DISPLAY command provides a domain name. Use this value in the NSLOOKUP command. The ICO program opens a terminal and displays a bouncing icosahedron as a test.
Put the domain name specified in the /NODE qualifier in double quotes.
Facility: DECwindows
Meaning: A user could not display X11 applications on an OpenVMS host; this message appeared in the DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG file.
Action: Do one of the following:
• The value of UCX$INET_HOST is not in MULTINET:HOSTS.LOCAL, causing a problem with the transport initiation. Make sure UCX emulation is also enabled.
Facility: DECwindows
Meaning: This message appears in the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG when the TCP/IP transport is configured correctly.
Action: Informational message; no action is required.
Facility: DECwindows
Meaning: When followed by "SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available," this error indicates DECwindows started before MultiNet.
Action: Ensure DECnet starts before MultiNet and DECwindows starts after MultiNet. The DECwindows process completes its startup as soon as SYSTARTUP_Vn.COM completes, which is not before MultiNet completes. Start MultiNet from this command file. (Under OpenVMS V5, this file is called SYSTARTUP_V5.COM; under OpenVMS V6 and AXP versions, this file is called SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.)
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: A file in use by NFS was deleted by another node. The 0x800 code means file access conflict. Even though this message displayed on OPCOM, no error message is displayed when the file is deleted.
Action: Before deleting a file, ensure no one else is using it.
Facility: NFS
Meaning: This error can occur if there is no UID mapping for directory. If so, only W:RE access is given to the file. These permissions do not permit execution of the DIR command. A UID mapping is required to get access to a file over NFS even if your account has privileges.
Action: Refer to the NFS Client chapter of the Administrator's Guide for information on proper UID/GID translation table setups.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One of the following occurred:
• The client tried to use the unlink command to unlink a directory that was not empty.
• An unexpected SS$_DIRNOTEMPTY was received from the OpenVMS XQP when a user tried to delete a directory. The directory was not empty because an OpenVMS user added a file to the directory shortly before the delete attempt.
Action: Empty the directory and retry the operation.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: Because the server has exceeded its disk quota, it has received a SS$_EXDISKQUOTA error message from the OpenVMS XQP. If the writeback feature is enabled, preceding write operations may not have completed, and some data may have been lost before reaching the disk.
Action: Delete other files to free disk space, then write the file again.
Facility: NFSDISMOUNT
Meaning: An invalid mount point was specified for a dismount.
Action: Specify the correct mount point name. List the NFS-mounted devices with the SHOW DEVICES NFS command.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server, AIX NFS Client

Action: Use MULTINET CONFIGURE /NFS to change one of the accounts to a different UID.
Facility: MultiNet
Meaning: Error code 65 is EHOSTUNREACH, no route to host. Typically, this message occurs when an ICMP Host Unreachable message is received from a gateway in response to a packet sent to a destination address. This is sometimes caused by transient network connectivity problems, and is sometimes deliberate on the part of organizations filtering certain kinds of network traffic.
Action: If you have reached the specified host previously, try again later. A router or intermediate host may be down temporarily. If you have not reached the host before, try to determine which router is preventing access to the host. One method is to use MULTINET TRACEROUTE to trace the route to the host.
Facility: REMIND
Meaning: An attempt to use the REMIND SEND option caused this message to appear.
Action: Error 84 (hex) is SS$_DEVOFFLINE, which indicates the message could not be sent because:
• The user is not able to receive the broadcast (the user's terminal is set to /NOBROADCAST or BROADCAST=NOMAIL).
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD
Meaning: The specified password does not meet the requirements of a valid Kerberos password. A Kerberos password is case-sensitive, can be up to 64 characters in length, cannot include control characters or spaces, and does not accept backspaces in corrections.
Action: Rerun MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD and specify the correct password. If the user has forgotten the password, use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT to assign a new one.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: The remote host, hostname, either did not send an SMTP startup banner (the connection timed out), or is sending an SMTP startup banner using the wrong syntax.
Action:
• Verify whether the remote host is accepting SMTP:
$ MULTINET TELNET/PORT=SMTP hostname
If the connection does not succeed or you do not receive an SMTP startup banner within a few minutes, check for problems with the remote host.
• If there are no network connectivity problems, the most likely problem is with an older UNIX sendmail configuration that ends the startup banner line with only <LF>. According to the RFCs, the correct ending is <CR><LF>.
Fix the remote host SMTP to use <CR><LF> instead of <LF>, or put the following logical name definition in your system startup files:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE -
_$ MULTINET_SMTP_ACCEPT_UNIX_LF_BRAIN_DAMAGE TRUE
Facility: MULTINET CONFIGURE

Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A client failed to enter a valid user name and password combination in the three allowed attempts. Repeated failures may be an indication of an attack on the server.
Action: Verify the source host is a valid working client.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A client failed to enter a valid user name and password combination in the three allowed attempts. Repeated failures may be an indication of an attack on the server.
Action: Verify the source host is a valid working client.
Facility: MULTINET SET /INTERFACE/FILTER
Meaning: A filter line specifies a timed filter where the expiration time for the filter is before the start time for the filter.
Action: Edit the filter file and correct the offending line.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE SRVTAB
Meaning: The instance value specified in the command line could not be found in the Kerberos database.
Action: Examine the MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE DUMP output to help solve the problem; otherwise, correct the spelling, then rerun the MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE SRVTAB utility.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE SRVTAB
Meaning: The specified realm value is incorrect.
Action: Rerun MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE SRVTAB and supply the correct value. You can supply the name on the command line by using the /REALM qualifier. Check the MULTINET:KERBEROS.CONFIGURATION file for the specification of the local realm.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server failed to extend a file to satisfy a write operation.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server encountered a fatal error. See error for further details.
Action: Re-establish the connection to the server.
Facility: NFSDISMOUNT
Meaning: While using NFS to a remote host, that host crashed. These messages appear when an attempt is made to use NFSDISMOUNT.
Action: The remote host cannot be dismounted until it is back online; however, you can reset the NFS Client by killing the NFS_CLIENT_ACP process with STOP/ID, and then dismounting and remounting everything with NFSDISMOUNT/NFSMOUNT. Next time, mount access to the remote host using the NFSMOUNT /SOFT qualifier. The local host will time out 70 seconds later if the remote host fails. You can select a different timeout value with the /TIMEOUT qualifier.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One of the following situations occurred:
• A user tried to create a directory file or symbolic link to an already existing, incompatible file name.
• The OpenVMS XQP returned an unexpected SS$_DUPFILENAME error message.
Action: Retry the operation after making sure the directory exists.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server failed to get information about a file.
Facility: MULTINET SET /INTERFACE/FILTER
Meaning: A filter definition contains the REPEAT keyword, but doesn’t have starting and expiration times specified.
Action: Edit the filter file and correct the offending line.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: An error was encountered while deleting a folder. This error is associated with another message providing additional information.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The IMAP server has detected an external change to the mailbox and the list of message UIDs is no longer valid. This is likely to occur if both VMS mail and IMAP are accessing the same folder.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The client attempted to delete a folder which has a child folder. The child folder and its contents must be deleted prior to deleting the folder.
Action: Delete any inferior folders and retry the operation.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The set folder-time directive in the .IMAPRC file specified a value that was too low. The default and minimum allowed value is one minute.
Action: Change the value in .IMAPRC.
Facility: Kerberos
Meaning: An internal Kerberos error occurred.
Action: Ensure the KADMIN server of your KDC host is available. You can test this by using TELNET to access port 750, 88, or both, depending on which port Kerberos is configured to listen. Also ensure the MULTINET:KERBEROS.CONFIGURATION file includes at least one line with "admin server", and the KADMIN server on that host appears as an active process.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server could not extend a file because of an error it encountered when reading in the block from the disk that contains the current end of file. A UNIX error code is printed.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD
Meaning: The specified old password value did not agree with the user's entry in the database. A Kerberos password is case-sensitive, can be up to 64 characters in length, cannot include control characters or spaces, and does not accept backspaces in corrections.
Action: Rerun MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD, specifying the correct value. If the user has forgotten the password, the system manager can use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT on the KDC host to assign a new value.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: A value outside the range of zero to 65535 was entered at the Attributes prompt. This field is not used currently by Kerberos applications.
Action: Select a correct value and try again. The default, the value zero, is specified for Attributes.
Facility: LPD Server
Meaning: Indicates a LPR client sent a invalid printing job. This could occur if a Windows 2000 LPR client is wrongly configured.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: MULTINET SET /INTERFACE/FILTER
Meaning: A filter definition contains a start time or expiration time that isn’t a valid VMS absolute time or delta time specification.
Action: Edit the filter file and correct the offending line.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One of the following conditions occurred:
• The client tried to extend a file, using the "setattr" procedure. The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
• The client tried to change the size of a symbolic link, using the "setattr" procedure. The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
• The client tried to truncate a VAR-CR file to something other than zero, using the "setattr" procedure. The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
• A bad state exists in the server.
• The OpenVMS XQP returned an unexpected error message. The following message should have displayed on the OpenVMS console:
Couldn't translate VMS error OxXXXXX
Action: Retry the operation with the correct command.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The X11-Gateway was invoked as a type protocol server.
Action: Informational message; no action is required.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The IP connection from the client was directed to server_name. The connection came from node, IP address.
Action: Informational message; no action is required.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One of the following conditions occurred:
• The client tried to create a non-directory file on top of a directory file, using "creat." The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
• The client tried to link a directory, using "link." The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
• The client tried to change the size of a directory, using "setattr." The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
• The client tried to write to a directory, using "write." The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
Action: Retry the operation using the correct command.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: This message displays during a non-standard MultiNet installation.
Action: Check the accounting for the exit status of the symbiont process. Ensure SYS$SYSTEM:MULTINET_SMTP_SYMBIONT.EXE was reinstalled properly.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE NEW_MASTER_KEY
Meaning: The current specified password was determined to be incorrect during a new_master_key operation; or the MULTINET:KERBEROS.MASTER_KEY file does not exist, is not accessible, or does not contain the master key.
Action: Check the spelling and rerun MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE NEW_MASTER_KEY.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE LOAD
Meaning: The file specified for output could not be opened.
Action: Ensure the specified directory and file are accessible.
Facility: MULTINET TELNET (Kerberized)
Meaning: An attempt to process a ticket failed because the identity of the user could not be verified. Generally, this error is caused by the wrong key in the KERBEROS.SRVTAB file, which can result from rebuilding the KDC database and/or changing the password used for the host's rcmd entry.
Action: Ensure the KERBEROS.SRVTAB file exists on the remote host. If the file exists, but authentication is not taking place, the file is corrupted. A system manager can rebuild KERBEROS.SRVTAB with the information on the KDC and put the new file on the application server. This procedure is described in the Kerberos chapter of the Administrator's Guide. You can test the KERBEROS.SRVTAB file for usability, as shown in the following example:
$ MULTINET KERBEROS LIST/SRVTAB
Server key file: multinet:kerberos.srvtab
------------------------------------------------------
rcmd fnord FOO.COM 1
$
Use of this command requires SYSTEM read access. If the output is similar
to this example, the file exists and is not empty. However, this test does not
determine if the key is valid.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE STASH
Meaning: The master key specified in the prompt does not match that of the database.
Action: Check the spelling and rerun MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE STASH.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE STASH
Meaning: The master key file could not be opened for creation. Incorrect permissions may prevent this file from being created in the MULTINET: directory.
Action: Ensure you have the correct permissions to create a file in the MULTINET: directory.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE STASH
Meaning: A write function call failed while attempting to write to the master key file.
Action: Ensure directory permissions are correct for writing to the master key file, and sufficient disk space is available.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE STASH
Meaning: A problem occurred while initializing the Kerberos database or while creating the database cache.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD
Meaning: The user name, instance, and realm values could not be parsed from the database entry for the user.
Action: Make sure the user is in the Kerberos database. If so, use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT to check the information in the entry.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD
Meaning: The user or principal name password could not be parsed from the user's database entry.
Action: Make sure the user is in the Kerberos database. If so, use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT to check the information in the entry.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: An attempt to get the entry from the Kerberos database failed. If status is -1, the database is locked by another process. A status other than 1 (success) indicates a database read error.
Action: Ensure you have exclusive access to the database before continuing.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: The specified Kerberos instance name is incorrect.
Action: Check the spelling and rerun MULTINET KERBEROS INIT.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning:
1 The specified Kerberos name is not correct.
2 The user name, instance name, and realm name could not be parsed while attempting to create new user tickets because the total name length of these three elements exceeded the maximum size of 120 characters.
Action: Check the spelling and rerun MULTINET KERBEROS INIT; or shorten one of the names and rerun MULTINET KERBEROS INIT.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: The specified Kerberos realm name is incorrect.
Action: Check the spelling and rerun MULTINET KERBEROS INIT.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: An internal system error occurred.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: An error occurred while attempting to read the realm name from the database.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: The specified user password is incorrect. A Kerberos password is case-sensitive, can be up to 64 characters in length, cannot include control characters or spaces, and does not accept backspaces in corrections.
Action: Rerun MULTINET KERBEROS INIT and specify the correct value.
Facility: TELNET /AUTH or RLOGIN /AUTH
Meaning: An entry for the user was not found in the KDC database.
Action: Use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT to add an entry to the database.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: An internal system error occurred.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: The host name associated with the KDC (ticket server) could not be determined.
Action: Rerun MULTINET KERBEROS INIT. If the error occurs again, contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS LIST
Meaning: The ticket file in the user's login directory does not contain information required by MULTINET KERBEROS LIST. The ticket file is corrupted or has been altered.
Action: Delete the ticket file using MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY and obtain new tickets using MULTINET KERBEROS INIT.
Facility: TELNET /AUTH or RLOGIN /AUTH
Meaning: The realm name is different from the domain name.
Action: Create a MULTINET:KERBEROS.REALMS file by following the instructions in the Kerberos chapter in the Administrator's Guide.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS INIT
Meaning: The error-message describes the problem. If "Generic error (get_intkt)" appears, the error occurred during internal processing of the instance or ticket.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS LIST
Meaning: The server key file contains more than one record. Only the first record was read. The server key file was created by a previous call to MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE SRVTAB. The actual key file is not changed.
Action: Ensure files created with MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE SRVTAB are not edited after they are created.
Facility: TELNET /AUTH or RLOGIN /AUTH
Meaning: The realm name is different from the domain name.
Action: Create a MULTINET:KERBEROS.REALMS file by following the instructions in the Kerberos chapter in the Administrator's Guide.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The X11-Gateway server failed while issuing a LIB$GET_EF for the event flag.
Action: Try this again with the debug level set to 2. If the failure reoccurs, contact Technical Support. The X11-Gateway debug level is set by defining the MULTINET_XGATEWAY_DEBUG_LEVEL logical name to the numeric value of the required debug level. Refer to the X11-Gateway chapter in the Administrator's Guide for more information.
Facility: VMSLICENSE
Meaning: This OpenVMS message warns you that you cannot combine licenses you did not specify to combine. (This is an OpenVMS bug.)
Facility: MULTINET SET /INTERFACE/FILTER
Meaning: The specified time, but non-repeating, filter that has already passed its expiration time, and will not be loaded.
Action: None. This is an information message only.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A client sent an illegitimate command to the server before attempting to authenticate itself. This is indicative of a broken client or a possible attack against the server.
Action: Verify the source host is a valid working client.
Facility: OpenVMS AXP LINK
Meaning: An error occurred while attempting to link against the system symbol table.
Action: Enter the following command:
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server failed to link or rename a file.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: A logical name required for the gateway to operate was not defined.
Action: Confirm that the gateway has been configured properly. Define the logical name mentioned in the error message. If the logical name is not needed, set it to zero to eliminate the message.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A client failed to enter a valid user name and password combination.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A user logged in to the server successfully.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: These messages display while attempting to reply to an address in the format in%"user@host". There may be a problem in the PMDF configuration.
Action: Enter the following command to enable use of this format:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE MAIL$PROTOCOL_IN SMTP_MAILSHR
Note! You must have SYSNAM privilege to execute this command.
This error causes IN% mail to be sent through the MultiNet mailer and not the PMDF mailer.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: This message appears when attempting to send DECnet mail over SMTP:
smtp%"username%nodename.decnet@host"
Action: Use the following format instead:
SMTP%nodename::username
If this does not meet your needs, customize the MULTINET_ROOT:[MULTINET.EXAMPLES]USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.C file.
Search for #ifdef DECNET_ADDRESS_HACK and add code to accommodate your needs.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: These messages appear while attempting to forward mail between hosts.
Action: If you have a cluster with hosts not running MultiNet, define the MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS bits to indicate you have a heterogeneous cluster. Use the following command to define this logical:
$ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS 7
Use a value of 3 or greater. If you prefer MAIL to include the time the
message was delivered in the notification message displayed on a recipient's
terminal, set the logical to 7. This logical is described in the OpenVMS
documentation supplied with your system. In OpenVMS V5, this logical is
described in the VMS Mail Manual. In OpenVMS V6, this logic is in the
"OpenVMS System Manager's Manual: Essentials" in the "Managing MAIL
Accounts" section.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: These messages occurred while SMTP tried to deliver a message received via MultiNet to a local user.
Action: The ISAM key structure of file was corrupted. Delete the file and restore a good copy from backup.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: Attempts to send mail in the following format fail:
"IGW::PSI%ESX25NET.IHEPVX::USER"@host
Action: Use the following format instead:
SMTP%"\'igw::psi%esx25net.ihepvx::USER\'@host"
Facility: TALK
Meaning: Two users on hosts with different byte orders are trying to use TALK to converse. Typically, this occurs when talking to a user on a Sun workstation because Sun has a different byte-ordering scheme than the OpenVMS VAX or AXP architectures.
Action: Use ntalk on the Sun host or TALK/OLD on the OpenVMS host. A copy of NTALK is supplied on the MultiNet CD-ROM in the [CONTRIBUTED- SOFTWARE.APPLICATIONS.NTALK] directory. This command is also available in the public domain. The NTALK directory contains documentation describing how to access the file. NTALK is distributed as a UNIX tar file. Follow these steps to make it available for use:
1 Copy the NTALK tar archive to a UNIX host.
2 Use tar to retrieve the archived files.
Run make to compile the files into binary source. (The make file assumes the UNIX cc compiler is available.)
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server, AIX NFS Client
Meaning: By default, NFS clients running the AIX Operating System for IBM RS/6000 computers try to use IBM Access Control extensions. The MultiNet NFS Server does not support those extensions.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD
Meaning: The new password value entered a second time for verification did not match the first value.
Action: Specify the correct value.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A client sent an illegitimate command to the server before attempting to authenticate itself. This is indicative of a broken client or a possible attack against the server.
Action: Verify the source host is a valid working client.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: TELNET /AUTH
Meaning:
1 The realm name is different from the domain name. Create a MULTINET:KERBEROS.REALMS file.
2 An attempt was made to access a remote host with TELNET, RLOGIN, RSHELL, or RCP, and there is no entry in the KDC database.
Action: For the first case, create the necessary file. For the second, use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT to add the user to the KDC database.
Facility: MULTINET CHECK
Meaning: All user login command procedures should have the 'F$VERIFY(0)' command at the beginning to ensure that messages do not appear at login. If messages appear, "R" services fail.
Action: Make sure the login command procedures contain the following two lines at the top of each file:
$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit
Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify OTHER in uppercase.
Facility: MULTINET CHECK
Meaning: The host table was recompiled, but was not installed.
Action: Run the MULTINET:INSTALL_DATABASES.COM command procedure.
Facility: MULTINET CHECK
Meaning: Two Ethernet controllers have the same physical address. This is not a problem as long as the two interfaces are connected to two different Ethernet segments.
Action: If the controllers are on the same segment and only one of the devices is using DECnet, use MULTINET SET /INTERFACE with the /NODECNET_ADDRESS qualifier to force the physical address to be derived from the PROM on the controller of the non-DECnet device rather than by DECnet. This problem is fixed in DECnet Phase IV-Prime and Phase V.
Facility: MULTINET CHECK
Meaning: If a root nameserver is configured locally, it cannot be reached. There is no problem if a root nameserver is not local.
Action: Establish or fix the root nameserver using the directions in the Administrator's Guide.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: A sanity check in the NFS server failed, indicating a coding error.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server failed to update the attributes of a file to satisfy a write or setattr operation.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: Kerberos is hardcoded to support a maximum of 40 principal names per instance. You can have up to 40 types of services registered for use on a single server.
Facility: Limit the number of principals for services on a particular server to 40.
Note! Different servers can share the same principal. For example, TELNET and the R services use the same "rcmd" principal because they give similar access to a server.
Facility: NFS
Meaning: The NFS server is refusing client mount requests. client_name is either the name of the client requesting access or the name of the client whose mount request was refused. Depending on the subsequent message, the server may be refusing client mount requests because of the following:
1 The client's IP address is not authorized because it is in the restriction list of the RPCMOUNT server (set with MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVER).
2 The requested directory does not exist on the server system. (The message states RPCMOUNT could not get a file handle for the mount point.)
3 The client did not provide UNIX-style login authorization credentials, or those credentials are not in the current configuration file.
Action: Find the message that follows this one in this guide and follow the instructions provided.
Facility: MOUNT
Meaning: There is a compatibility problem between IBM RS/6000 hosts and OpenVMS. This error appeared while attempting to rewind a 9-track tape mounted on the RS/6000 host.
Action: An RS/6000 host does not communicate well with OpenVMS hosts. Try rewinding the tape from RSHELL with the following commands:
$ RSHELL hostname "/etc/rmt"
I5
1
If the "E5 There is an input or output error" message appears after you execute this
command, place a support call to IBM to find out why rewinding the tape causes
this error. Alternately, the following PERL script is offered as an unsupported option
to problems between RS/6000 and OpenVMS hosts:
#!/bin/perl
# Acknowledgements to Daniel Packman for supplying this script.
# Wrapper to convert input rmt requests to
# AIX 3.2 ioctl numbers. We pass on all commands we don't
# understand.

@iocs = (10,11,12,13,14,6,5,0,8,7);
open(RMT,"|/usr/sbin/rmt") || die "Can't open pipe to rmt\n";
select(RMT);
$| = 1;
while (<STDIN>) {

exit 0 if $_ =~ /^[Qq]/;
print RMT $_ ; }
exit 0;
Install the script on an AIX host containing a Perl interpreter in place of the /etc/rmt symbolic link. This script intercepts and translates ioctl numbers to AIX local values.
Facility: MOUNT/FOREIGN
Meaning: This message occurs when attempting to rewind a 9-track tape mounted on a IBM RS/6000.
Action: Refer to the description for the %MOUNT-F-CTRLERR error for solving this problem.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: In an LAVC with two VAX hosts, VAX A and VAX B, only node VAX A has MultiNet. In the LAVC, VAX A has mounted a disk from VAX B and then exported this disk for UNIX NFS-clients in this net. If VAX B crashes (or shuts down), VAX B cannot reboot because VAX A holds the disk (as an exported disk) from VAX B. This message appears when VAX B reboots.
Action: If VAX B disappears for longer than the time specified in the SYSGEN parameter MVTIMEOUT (on VAX A), VAX A will change the state of the disk from mount-verify to mount-verify-timeout and return an error to any application waiting to access it on VAX A. To remount this disk, dismount it on VAX A. Raise the value of MVTIMEOUT (the default is 1 hour) to the longest period you expect VAX B to be down.
Facility: Remote host access utility
Meaning: An attempt to send information failed with this message. The remote host closed the connection prematurely, possibly due to a timeout error.
Action: Contact the administrator on the remote host before retrying.
Facility: Variable
Meaning: If accompanied by X11DEBUG messages, ensure DECwindows is started before starting MultiNet in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
Action: If DECwindows does not start before MultiNet, refer to the message "%DECW-W-ATT_FAIL, failed to attach transport TCPIP" for a complete description of how to avoid this situation. Otherwise, examine SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG to see why DECwindows could not connect to MultiNet.
Facility: FTP, LPD, and variable
Meaning: The remote side of a TCP connection terminated the connection unexpectedly with a TCP RST (Reset) packet. If the user aborted an FTP transfer, this message is normal. If the user did not abort the FTP transfer, this message indicates an abnormal termination or abnormal behavior at the remote end of the TCP connection.
Action: Gather information on the remote host's configuration. Contact Process Software Technical Support, and be prepared to duplicate the behavior and generate a TCPDUMP for analysis.
Facility: Variable
Meaning: An attempt failed to establish a SLIP link between an OpenVMS host and a terminal server. An attempt to use PING resulted in a "MULTINET-F-ENOBUFS" message.
Action: Use the MULTINET SHOW/BUF command to check for any logged "requests for memory denied". If there are none, the terminal server is not accepting data from the VAX. Try power cycling everything and try again.
This message can also mean the terminal port is set to /MODEM but no modem
carrier (DTR) is present.
Facility: Variable
Meaning: A restrictive gateway between the local and remote hosts is sending ICMP UNREACHABLE in response to only some types of packets. Find the remote host using MULTINET NSLOOKUP and MULTINET TRACEROUTE.
Action: If you run TCPDUMP as a subprocess watching for ICMP packets and try a command such as RCP, the offending router becomes visible. Generally, restrictive gateways are set up because system administrators do not want "R" services performed to their hosts.
Facility: Variable
Meaning: There is not enough kernel buffer space or too much data is backed up while waiting for the Ethernet controller to send data.
Action: Run MULTINET SHOW /BUFFERS to determine if adequate buffers are available, paying special attention to lines that state "requests for memory denied." These lines indicate more kernel buffer space is required. To ensure an application is not consuming the kernel buffer space, contact Technical Support for information and system analysis.
Facility: MULTINET CONFIGURE
Meaning: These messages appear after adding an interface, and attempts to connect to the interface fail.
This error can also display when the definition for MULTINET_ROOT includes
two different devices, one of which is a RAM disk.
Action: Use the MULTINET SHOW/STAT command to list the devices recognized by the MultiNet server. If the device you configured is not listed, reboot your host and restart MultiNet.
Facility: TELNET, FTP, and other remote host access or print utilities
Meaning: This message can have two meanings.
• The host to which the remote access was attempted is down or not on the network. If access is to a remote printer, it may be powered off or configured incorrectly. When a host fails, the connection can appear to hang before this message appears. The length of time the connection hangs before this message appears is hardcoded in the TCP kernel and cannot be changed. It is set high intentionally so that a user can press Ctrl/Y to escape the application.
• No response was received to a SYN packet (request to open a TCP connection) sent by MultiNet. This can occur when the remote host has a problem at its end with the SMTP server being too busy, or some sort of network problem is filtering SMTP packets.
Action: Determine the status of the remote host before proceeding.
Facility: MULTINET SET
Meaning: These messages appear when using the MULTINET SET/INTERFACE/MTU=nn command on se0.
Action: The MTU is a property of the hardware interface and should not be set. MultiNet uses the lower MSS when transmitting to a host not on your network.
To diagnose this problem, use a network analyzer, TCPDUMP, or TCPVIEW, and watch the connection when it fails (hangs). You will see the OpenVMS host retransmitting the same TCPdata constantly, with no acknowledgements sent back. Next, put a network analyzer at the remote site and see if the data packets do arrive. This condition can be caused by a "Pattern-sensitive link," a link that lets certain packets through, but not others.
MultiNet's Path MTU Discovery (RFC1191) determines automatically the largest MTU that can be used between the MultiNet host and a remote host.
Facility: SLIP
Meaning: A terminal line connected to the SLIP device failed.
Action: Invoke a REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP, read the OPCOM messages, and proceed accordingly.
Facility: MultiNet
Meaning: Two hosts on your network have the same Ethernet hardware address. The most likely cause is the same setting of the SYSGEN parameter SCSSYSTEMID. Preinstalled OpenVMS comes with SCSSYSTEMID set to 65534.
Action: Change the value of SCSSYSTEMID.
Facility: LPD
Meaning: The terminal server/printer is refusing the connection, probably because of a race condition.
Action: Contact the system administrator for the other host or the printer's manufacturer.
Facility: MultiNet
Meaning: An attempt to print a file caused these messages to appear.
Action: The printer is not responding to the request where MultiNet sends the CF file. Call the printer vendor.
Facility: LPR
Meaning: This message appears while attempting to set up a remote printer queue to a Tektronics Phaser IISD with a network interface module. There is no printer queue or daemon set up on the Tektronics. This message displays if you use the DCL command PRINT/QUEUE=TEKPS TEST.PS (where the queue setup using the Printer Configuration Utility is called TEKPS, and TEST.PS is a valid PostScript file).
Action: This message is originated by the Tektronics server. Check the manual for that device. The LPR/LPD protocol requires a printer name.
Facility: LPD
Meaning: A print queue is configured incorrectly. The printer is known to be working correctly, and the print queue was added with the CONFIG/PRINT utility.
Action: Enter the following command to get additional information about the queue:
$ MULTINET SHOW/QUEUE=queue
The most likely causes are the queue name was specified incorrectly in either the print command or in the queue configuration, or the OpenVMS host name was not added to the /etc/hosts.lpd file on the UNIX host.
Facility: BOOTP
Meaning: This message is generated by BOOTP during normal operation and indicates an address was not found.
Action: Ignore this message. To disable the reporting of this message, enter the following command:
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL BOOTP DEBUG -1
To make this change permanent, follow the instructions in the service configuration
section of the Administrator's Guide. Changes take effect after starting the master server.
To find the offending node, use TCPDUMP or TCPVIEW.
Facility: NFS
Meaning: NFS cannot be added to a configuration; instead, MultiNet must be reinstalled and NFS selected at that time. This message appears when NFS was configured improperly.
Action: Enter the following commands and contact Technical Support with the results:
$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL NFS START
Facility: MultiNet Server
Meaning: Your host is out of process slots (per the message associated with the 39c status or "%SYSTEM-F-NOSLOT, no PCP available" message).
Action: Use SYSGEN to raise MAXPROCESSCNT to a higher value to increase the number of process slots.
Alternatively, enter the following command and reboot your host:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS SETPARAMS FEEDBACK
AUTOGEN detects there are no more process slots and creates more.
Facility: DHCP
Meaning: DHCP and BOOTP use the same port, so only one of them can be running at a time. DHCP provides all the functions of BOOTP as well as dynamic addressing. The DHCP server can function as a BOOTP server, answering both BOOTP and DHCP client requests.
Action: Disable BOOTP if you want to run DHCP.
Facility: MultiNet Server
Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.
Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_ SERVER file from the MultiNet installation kit and restart the master server.
Facility: MultiNet Server
Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.
Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file from the MultiNet installation kit and restart the master server.
Facility: "R" Services
Meaning: An unexpected error occurred with the RSHELL or REXEC server, but the server process continued to run.
Action: If you can duplicate the message, contact Technical Support.
Facility: "R" Services
Meaning: An attempt to start an RSHELL process on an OpenVMS host from a UNIX host failed.
Action: Edit the MULTINET:START_SERVER.COM file to change the invocation of RUN MULTINET:SERVER at the end to /BUFFER=10000000 from the current value, and restart the MULTINET_SERVER process. This provides sufficient quota to overcome the problem.
Facility: "R" Services
Meaning:
1 An rsh from a UNIX host to an OpenVMS host failed. On the UNIX host, a "Permission denied" message displayed, and the above message appeared on the OpenVMS host in the SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG file.
2 An attempt was made to access a remote host using RLOGIN. The PC making the connection is not listed in the domain.
Action: Ensure the MULTINET_NAMESERVERS logical name is not defined on the server host, and the IP address is in its host tables. If it is, try the following:
$ MULTINET HOST COMPILE
$ @MULTINET:INSTALL_DATABASES
$ @MULTINET:START_SERVER
For DNS, add A.B.C.D to the DNS zone information file with a PTR record.
Facility: "R" services
Meaning: An "R" services client canceled a receive request before the server finished sending all of the requested information. Under these circumstances, you can ignore this message.
Action: Either the system-wide login command procedure or the user's login command is returning output other than what the client expects to see (such as DCL command output). The client is responding by terminating the connection.
Ensure the login command procedures contain the following two lines at the top of each file:
$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit
Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify OTHER in uppercase.
Facility: Pathworks
Meaning: The X server supplied with PATHWORKS assumes incorrectly that if it can connect to an REXEC server, it is talking to a UNIX host because UCX does not have REXEC. If PATHWORKS fails to connect via REXEC, it reverts to using TELNET and sends DCL correctly.
Action: Disable the REXEC server with the MULTINET CONFIGURE/SERVER command.
Facility: FINGER
Meaning: A server (in this case a FINGER server) attempted to get the address of a host with no such DNS record.
Action: Add a DNS record for the host.
Facility: MULTINET
Meaning: When the service was enabled with the MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVER utility, a syntax error was introduced into the service information. For example,this error occurred because FINGER was enabled with the following command:
SERVER-CONFIG>SET PROGRAM "MULTINET:FINGER"
The correct syntax does not include the quotes:
SERVER-CONFIG>SET PROGRAM MULTINET:FINGER
Action: Use the SHOW command in MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVER to list information about the service, and reconfigure the service with the correct information.
Facility: MultiNet Server
Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.
Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file from the MultiNet installation kit and restart the master server.
Facility: NFS
Meaning: This error occurs when there is more NFS Client information than can fit into a 8192-byte UPD datagram. This error also occurs when using MULTINET SHOW/NFSMOUNT when a host has a great number of NFS Clients.
Action: There is no known fix.
Facility: MultiNet
Meaning: The use of MULTINET SHOW /CONN failed. MULTINET_SHOW.EXE may have been disabled or the MULTINET: directory purged and the MULTINET.EXE file was lost.
Facility: SNMP
Meaning: This message appears when SNMP is disabled on a host.
Action: If the remote host uses MultiNet, enable SNMP service with the MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVERS command. If the remote host does not use MultiNet, contact the remote system manager to resolve the problem.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: Two new routines were added in MultiNet V3.2 to the USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.C interface. The SMTP server is failing because it cannot find those new routines.
Action: Merge your changes into the current release of the USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.C file. Recompile this file and link with the LINK /SHARE switch. This qualifier must be used when linking any of the customizable files provided with MultiNet.
After compiling and linking, make sure there is only one copy of
USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.EXE on your host and it (the new copy)
resides in the MULTINET_COMMON_ ROOT:[MULTINET] directory.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers which are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: DNS
Meaning: A DNS zone file is misconfigured so that each time a query comes in for one of the names associated with the authoritative nameserver, it refers back up the tree. This occurs when the zone file delegation information does not match the information maintained by the NIC.
Action: If this is a zone you are responsible for, configure your nameserver as authoritative for these domains, or ask the NIC to fix the delegation information in its database.
Facility: DNS
Meaning: A DNS name server is misconfigured. This message was added as a feature to help diagnose name server problems.
Action: Many sites find this extra information creates additional overhead, especially when the misconfigured name server is not located at their site. This message is enabled by default, but you can disable it using MULTINET:NAMED.CONF, as follows:
logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
};
Facility: FTP
Meaning: Because no data was received during an FTP session for more than five minutes, FTP timed out and dropped the session.
Action: If the session timed out while information was being entered, a network problem occurred. If the FTP server is on a host running MultiNet, set the MultiNet logical MULTINET_FTP_MAXIMUM_IDLE_TIME to a new value. If the server is not running MultiNet, contact the remote system manager to resolve the problem.
Facility: TELNET
Meaning: This message is not generated by MultiNet, but was reported when logging into an OpenVMS host from PC/NFS using TELNET.
Action: Code "5" indicates an EIO, I/O error. Use the following command on the OpenVMS host:
$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP
Then TELNET from the PC to generate an OPCOM message that will provide
additional information for diagnosing the problem.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server could not allocate enough virtual memory to cache a new file header.
Action: Reduce the setting of the server's MAXIMUM-CACHE-FILES parameter, or increase the size of the server process' pagefile quota (using AUTHORIZE) or the value of the OpenVMS system parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT (using SYSGEN/AUTOGEN).
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The set newmail-timer directive in the .IMAPRC file specified a value that was too low. The default and minimum allowed value is 30 seconds.
Action: Change the value in .IMAPRC.
Facility: PC/NFS
Meaning: An attempt to mount a file system failed.
Action: Try the following:
1 Ensure that the password is 8 characters or less. Some PCs send only the first 8 characters.
2 Ensure a UID translation is in effect for that user (and in the proper NFS-GROUP if any NFS-GROUPs are enabled).
3 If steps one and two fail, enable debugging in the PCNFSD server:
$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL PCNFDS DEBUG 10
If the error is still not obvious, contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: MultiNet could not start the MultiNet NFS Server because insufficient MultiNet kernel memory was available for the necessary structures.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server was unable to allocate enough memory for the RPC transports.
Action: Use a lower setting for the server parameter NUMBER-OF-RPC-TRANSPORTS.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server was unable to allocate enough memory for the RPC transports.
Action: Use a lower setting for the server parameter NUMBER-OF-RPC-TRANSPORTS.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server could not obtain a socket to listen on.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: MultiNet could not start the MultiNet NFS Server because of an incompatibility between the server and MultiNet kernel versions.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server encountered an error when reading a packet from the network. This error message can appear during normal server restart operations.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: This message appears on OPCOM when the MultiNet server is restarted.
Action: The server is receiving spurious information and the error results from a decoding problem at the RPC layer. Use a network analyzer or MULTINET TCPVIEW to obtain additional information about the problem.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The OpenVMS server encountered an unexpected signal (for example, ACCVIO) that indicates a coding error in the MultiNet NFS Server. A stack dump follows the display of either message, and the server either exits or hibernates to facilitate debugging.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: This message appears with the Unexpected Exception error messages. The writeback cache was not empty when the exception occurred, and the data in the writeback cache was lost.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: NFSDISMOUNT
Meaning: A mounted NFS file system could not be dismounted.
Action: Examine the additional diagnostic messages for more information.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The node could not be mounted.
Action:
• Ensure the configuration on node has knowledge of the new node name in the host table or DNS.
• The node configuration does not know the specified mount point is exported to the node.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning:
1 The NFSMOUNT utility could not create an RPC transport.
2 An attempt to mount a file system on a UNIX host failed. This error can occur when the NFS server on the other host is not running.
3 The specified service is not enabled on the NFS server.
4 If the /TRANSPORT=TCP qualifier is used with the NFSMOUNT command, the server does not speak NFS-over-TCP.
5 The RPCMOUNT daemon on the remote host went down.
Action: :
• Ensure NFS and MOUNT are registered. On a UNIX host, use the rpcinfo -p command, as shown in the following example:
# rpcinfo -p fnord
program vers proto port
100021 3 tcp 2049 nlockmgr
100021 1 tcp 2049 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 2049 nlockmgr
100021 1 udp 2049 nlockmgr
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
. . .
All RPC programs listed are registered. If a host name is not specified in the rpcinfo
command, the default is the local host. This command only works with SunOS V3.0
and later.
• If necessary, enable the specified service.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The /READ_SIZE qualifier was specified with a value less than 128 bytes or greater than 8192 bytes.
Action: Repeat the NFSMOUNT command, specifying a value within this range.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The /TIMEOUT qualifier was specified with a value less than one (one-tenth of a second).
Action: Repeat the NFSMOUNT command, specifying a value of 1 or greater.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The /WRITE_SIZE qualifier was specified with a value outside of the 128-to-8192 byte range.
Action: Repeat the NFSMOUNT command, specifying a value within this range.
Facility: NFSMOUNT /RELOAD
Meaning: No file system has been mounted or the NFS Client ACP has crashed. When a file system is mounted, all UID translations are loaded.
Action: Ensure the NFS Client ACP is running by mounting a file system.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The RPCMOUNT server rejected the mount request.
Action: Examine the additional diagnostic messages for more information.
Facility: NFS
Meaning:
1 A file was deleted while it was in use.
2 The getattr() NFS call to read the attributes of the mount point failed unexpectedly.
3 The NFS server crashed.
Action: Restart the NFS Server. For a MultiNet NFS Server, use the command:
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL NFS RESTART
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: This is a generic refusal message sent by the server in response to a mount request. The RPCMOUNT server is not allowing this user or client access to the remote file system.
Action: Generally, the mount_point host is not listed in /etc/exports. Add the client to the export list on the server and retry the mount command.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The remote RPCMOUNT server is unavailable or unreachable. The cause is a timeout error.
Action: Examine any additional diagnostic messages to see why the server could not be contacted.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: NFS did not start after it was installed. This error may also occur because the remote NFS server is unavailable or unreachable, typically due to a timeout error.
Action: Use the following command to restart the NFS server:
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL NFS RESTART
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The file system to be mounted must be specified in the form node::"mount_point".
Action: Retry the command with the correct syntax.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: Informational message only, indicating the successful completion of a mount operation.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: After rebooting the host, MultiNet began to start up, but stopped after the point when the NFS Server was starting in user mode. The domain name server is not initialized fully (usually because NFSMOUNT was used during or immediately after starting the network).
NFSMOUNT does not know whether the local name server has not started or
there is a global problem. It waits 60 seconds to be sure it is a global problem.
Action: Add the hosts from which you are mounting in your HOSTS.LOCAL file. That way, if DNS fails (or has not started), NFSMOUNT falls back to the host tables.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The NFSMOUNT command was run from a process without SYSPRV privilege and could not obtain a privileged socket from which to make the mount request. Some servers will not respond to a mount request from a non-privileged socket. NFSMOUNT requires CMKRNL, SETPRV, SYSPRV, SYSNAM, ALTPRI, DETACH, ACNT, and SYSLCK privileges.
Action: Repeat the command with the correct privileges.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The NFSMOUNT command was run from a process without SYSPRV privilege and could not obtain a privileged socket from which to make the mount request. Some servers will not respond to a mount request from a non-privileged socket. NFSMOUNT requires CMKRNL, SETPRV, SYSPRV, SYSNAM, ALTPRI, DETACH, ACNT, and SYSLCK privileges.
Action: Repeat the command with the correct privileges.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: A sanity check in the NFS Server failed, which may indicate a corruption issue. Analyze the file specified by the fid.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: A sanity check in the NFS Server failed, indicating a coding error.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One of the following conditions occurred:
• The server could not allocate a new OpenVMS channel to cache requested data from disk. Reduce the setting of the server's MAXIMUM-CACHE-FILES parameter, or increase the setting of the OpenVMS system parameter CHANNELCNT (using SYSGEN/AUTOGEN).
• The server could not allocate virtual memory to cache requested material from disk. Reduce the setting of the server's MAXIMUM-CACHE-BUFFERS parameter, or increase the value of the server-process pagefile quota (using AUTHORIZE) or the setting of the OpenVMS system parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT (using SYSGEN/AUTOGEN).
Facility: NFS Server
Meaning: The server received an unexpected SS$_DEVICEFULL error message from the OpenVMS XQP. If the writeback feature is enabled, preceding write operations may not have completed, and some data may have been lost before reaching the disk.
Action: Rewrite the file later when disk space is available.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: Either the server could not read the user's subscription file or the client attempted to unsubscribe a folder that was not subscribed.
Action: Check that there is sufficient disk space and that the server has sufficient privileges to write to the user's mail directory.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One of the following conditions occurred:
• The requested file was not found in the directory (the "lookup" subfunction did not complete).
• The OpenVMS XQP returned an unexpected SS$_NOSUCHFILE error message.
Action: Retry the operation with the correct information.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS LIST
Meaning: The ticket file has been altered or corrupted.
Action: Use MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY to delete the ticket file, and run MULTINET KERBEROS INIT to acquire new tickets.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY
Meaning: The ticket file in the user's login is missing, or the directory cannot be accessed. MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY may have already been invoked.
Action: Ensure the directory permissions are correct. If you need further access to Kerberos, use MULTINET KERBEROS INIT to acquire new tickets.
Facility: MULTINET NSLOOKUP
Meaning: MULTINET NSLOOKUP was used to find information about a host.
Action: The NSLOOKUP answer came from your own cache rather than from the authoritative name server. This message is helpful because it shows your cache is working properly.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The client tried to access a non-directory file using "readdir" or "lookup." The server does not allow clients to perform these operations.
Action: Retry the operation with the correct information.
Facility: NFSMOUNT
Meaning: The NFS Client is sending name as its host name.
Action: Add name to the exports list.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: The principal name specified was not found in the database.
Action: Enter y to create an entry for the name, or n to enter a new principal name.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The client tried to change a file's owner, using the "setattr" procedure. The server does not allow clients to perform this operation.
Action: Do not attempt to change the file ownership from an NFS Client. Log into the OpenVMS system and change the file's owner.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: A client sent an illegitimate command to the server before attempting to authenticate itself. This is indicative of a broken client or a possible attack against the server.
Action: Verify the source host is a valid working client.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD
Meaning: You must enter a password value. A Kerberos password is case-sensitive, can be up to 64 characters in length, cannot include control characters or spaces, and does not accept backspaces in corrections.

name defined in the MultiNet queue.
Action: SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB is the default name of the text library that contains setup modules for printer queues that have the /SETUP attribute for the form mounted on them. The queue may be set up with a specific form that requires a setup module. Use this command to list the specified forms:
$ SHOW QUEUE/FORM/FULL
Change the form specified for the queue or initialize the queue with the proper
setup library (/LIBRARY=).
Facility: LPR
Meaning: A PostScript bitmap file was sent to the print queue. These messages appear from a print queue on an OpenVMS host that sends the print jobs to a UNIX host via lpr.
Action: On the UNIX host initiating the job, use the lpr -v command to print the file. The -v option causes MultiNet LPR to treat the file as binary data and make it a FIX-512 file format.
Facility: LPD
Meaning: An error occurred while attempting to print DOS spreadsheets on an OpenVMS printer.
Action: The OpenVMS symbiont cannot print files that have a large record length. If the files are binary, you may be able to print them with the lpr -v option.
Facility: LPD
Meaning: With a MultiNet print queue set up to point to a Gatorbox offering LPD print services to AppleTalk printers, an OpenVMS user queued a file while another job was already printing.
Action: This error is caused by MultiNet receiving a NAK in the protocol when it was not expected, probably on the printer name. Discuss this problem with the Gatorbox vendor.
Facility: LPD
Meaning: This message appeared during a failed attempt to print on a remote host. 81B0 is the MultiNet status for Connection reset by peer (ECONNRESET). This status occurs when the remote host has rebooted and the local node attempts to transmit on a stale connection.
Action: Retry when you are sure the remote host is available.
Facility: MR_TO_MULTINET
Meaning: When MR_TO_MULTINET.COM was run, it quit unexpectedly and SMTP mail waiting in the queue was not delivered.
Action: Modify the MR_TO_MULTINET.COM file to either track down the problem or prevent it from occurring.
Facility: "R" Services
Meaning: A login procedure or shell script is displaying one or more messages that are confusing the "R" service. On an OpenVMS host, either the SYLOGIN.COM or a LOGIN.COM file has a command displaying information or messages written to SYS$OUTPUT. On a UNIX host, the file displaying the message can be called by the .profile file, .cshrc, .login, or other login startup file.
Action: On an OpenVMS host, make sure the login command procedures contain the following two lines at the top of each file:
$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit
Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify
OTHER in uppercase.
On the UNIX host, find the command that is displaying output and remove it from
the file. One command known to cause this problem is the UNIX stty command.
You can test which command is displaying the message by entering this command:
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The client tried to modify a read-only file system.
Action: Inform the user of the situation; enable write access if required.
Facility: FTP
Meaning: This message appears while attempting to use a third-party FTP program for a PC. When the /VERBOSE qualifier was used to log transactions between the server and client, it was discovered the third-party vendor was violating the terms of RFC-959 (the FTP specification) by not supplying an argument to the CWD command.
Action: Inform the third-party vendor that their FTP program is not in compliance with the RFC.
Facility: RSHELL
Meaning: A user tried to send several commands on the same command line to an OpenVMS host. DCL has a limit of 256 bytes for its command line read operations.
Action: Reformat the commands to circumvent this limitation.
Facility: RMTALLOC
Meaning: These messages appear when attempting to access a CD-ROM.
Action: Increase SPTREQ to the value shown in the Installation and Introduction.
Facility: RMTALLOC
Meaning: These messages appear while using RMTALLOC to access a tape. This error can be caused by a login command procedure displaying information from a command such as SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE. You can test this with the following command:
$ MULTINET RSHELL host "/etc/rmt"
Action: Fix the login command procedures so information is not displayed by adding the following two lines at the top of each login command procedure:
$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit
Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify "OTHER" in uppercase.
Add the following line at the end of each login command procedure:
Action: $ IF VERIFY THEN SET VERIFY
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: Client users receive this message when the OpenVMS server is not responding. When the message appears sporadically, the client may have specified too low a setting for the "timeo" parameter. When the message appears in response to every request, the NFS, RPCMOUNT, or RPCPORTMAP servers may not be running or responding.
Alternatively, the UNIX host sent a packet and an answer was not received in the amount of time allocated for a timeout. These situations can occur because:
• The NFS Server is not responding because the network is down or the NFS Server is hung.
• The NFS Server is responding, but not fast enough because:
– The client is timing out too quickly, or other software is not tuned properly to handle the amount of traffic between hosts.
– The OpenVMS host is moving too slowly because the CPU is overworked or under-capable.
– Users are performing time-intensive tasks that are slowing down the entire system. For example, if the NFS server is on a UNIX host, the files have variable-length, carriage return format. When a user executes an ls -l command on a very large file, NFS must find the end of the file before the command can finish. When there is heavy traffic on the NFS Server, this activity can take some time to complete.
The SET APPROXIMATE-TEXT-SIZE-THRESHOLD command in the MULTINET CONFIGURE /NFS utility improves text file performance. When set to a positive value, this feature determines file sizes only when the OpenVMS-indicated length of the file exceeds the specified threshold. This permits commands such as UNIX ls to execute much faster. When a file system is mounted from a UNIX host, use the /approximate-text-size qualifier to the UNIX mount command.
• A packet was not received, but the problem corrected itself. If this message appears once and the connection continues to function, it may only indicate a need to adjust system parameters.
Action: Determine if the connection is viable. Use PING to see if the host can be reached. Adjust system parameters if necessary. Issue the following command to list the protocols registered with the portmapper:
$ MULTINET SHOW/RPC
If any of the protocols are not listed, verify whether they are enabled. If they are not,
enable them and restart the server.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server is denying all access to the requesting client because the client's IP address is in the restriction list of the RPCMOUNT server (set within the Server Configuration Utility).
Note! This restriction list is unrelated to any mount- restriction list that might exist.
Action: Fix the restriction list.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The NFS Server rejected the mount request because the requested directory does not exist on the server computer.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The MultiNet NFS Server denied the client access to the OpenVMS server because the client did not provide UNIX-style login authorization credentials or because those credentials are not in the current configuration file.
Action: This problem reflects an unresolvable incompatibility between the client NFS and another UNIX-style NFS.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The client-supplied mount-request authorization parameters failed the checks made by the NFS Server, and the mount request was rejected.
The server attempts the following calls:
• gethostbyaddr() on the requesting IP address to obtain the client's name
• gethostbyname() on the client name obtained by gethostbyaddr()
If the response to either query fails, the server displays the first message and
rejects the request. If both queries succeed, but the IP address the client supplied
is not one of the IP addresses obtained with gethostbyname(), the second message
is printed and the request is rejected.
Action: If either message occurs as the result of a request from a valid client, check your host tables and domain name server database to make sure the client's name-to-address and address-to-name mappings are both correct.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The server rejected the mount request because the specified mount point does not exist on the server.
Action: Enter a valid mount point.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The mount request was rejected because a mount-restriction list exists for the requested file system and the requesting client is not represented on the list.
Action: If the client should be able to access the NFS server, use the SELECT mount_point command and then the ADD MOUNT-RESTRICTION command in the MULTINET CONFIGURE /NFS utility to add the client to the list.
Facility: MultiNet
Meaning: The 204c code at the end of this message translates as "%SYSTEM-F-DISCONNECT", process disconnected from requested interrupt vector, and usually indicates a problem with a bad transceiver or transceiver cable.
Action: If these messages appear sporadically, but other services work, ignore them. Otherwise, upgrade your host to the current version of MultiNet.
Facility: TELNET
Meaning: This message appears while attempting to set /ALTYPEAHEAD on the NTY devices created by MultiNet to handle incoming TELNET connections.
Action: Set it as a system-wide default by changing the SYSGEN parameter TTY_DEFCHAR2, or with MultiNet V3.2 and later, you can patch MULTINET:MULTINET.EXE to set the ALTYPAHEAD bit in the NETWORK_PTY_DEVDEPND2_SET flags. Contact Technical Support.
Facility: FTP
Meaning: This message appears when PUT or GET commands are issued during an FTP session.
Action: A SET command in the system-wide login command procedure is failing, such as a SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command. Surround this command with the appropriate logic to prevent its execution if the job is of type NETWORK, for example:
$ If F$Mode() .eqs. "NETWORK" Then Goto Skip_Terminal
$ Set Terminal/ . . .
. . .
$ Skip_Terminal:
Facility: TCPDUMP
Meaning: This error occurs while attempting to use TCPDUMP.
Action: Ensure both PHY_IO and SYSPRV are set when using TCPDUMP with the /PROMISCUOUS qualifier.
Facility: UNIX rsh to an OpenVMS host
Meaning: These messages display when the LOGIN.COM file on the OpenVMS host invokes a SET TERMINAL command without checking to be sure the session is an INTERACTIVE job.
Action: Fix the LOGIN.COM file.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: A signal was caught that made continued processing impossible. sigtype designates the type of signal. program-counter is the program-counter specified as the pc element of the sigcontext structure, defined in the signal.h header file in SYS$INCLUDE.
Action: Refer to the VAX C Run-Time Library Manual or the HP C Run-Time Library Manual for more information on signals and for the meaning of the signal code. The signal.h header file may also provide information on the cause of the problem. If the reason why this message occurred is not obvious, contact Technical Support.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The X11-Gateway is starting. Debug level has been set to value.
Action: Informational message; no action is required.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: The client has referenced an old or invalid file handle (file identifier) while trying to perform a file system operation. The directory or file may no longer exist, or the disk may no longer be mounted.
Action: If neither condition is true and the message recurs, dismount and remount the file system on the clients that receive the message.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The X11-Gateway failed while attempting to start a read operation on the DECnet channel.
Action: Translate vms_error_value using the OpenVMS error manual. This error occurs because:
• The DECnet network failed or
• The client or server closed the connection or
• The client or server crashed or all three must happen
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The X11-Gateway failed while attempting to start a read operation on an IP channel.
Action: Translate vms_error_value in the OpenVMS error manual. This error occurs because:
• The IP network failed
• The client or server closed the connection
• The client or server crashed
Facility: MultiNet Server
Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.
Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_ FILE from the MultiNet installation kit, then restart the master server.
Facility: START_MULTINET
Meaning: These messages appear when MultiNet starts.
Action: MultiNet uses SYSMAN for loading device drivers and there is not enough free non-paged pool to load the drivers. Check memory with the SYSGEN command. Run AUTOGEN, as shown in the following example and reboot:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS SETPARAMS FEEDBACK
Facility: LPD
Meaning: This message occurs when attempting to use LPR to spool output to the printer.
Action: Use the PRINT/USER= command to print a file under the user name that is having trouble. This should provide more information. If the result is not clear, contact Technical Support.
Facility: SMTP
Meaning: This message is a result of the symbiont's attempt to translate the logical name MULTINET_SMTP_RETURN_INTERVAL by using the VAX C Run-Time Library's getenv() function. When the logical name is not present, getenv returns NULL, which is passed to strlen() and results in the ACCVIO.
Action: Define MULTINET_SMTP_RETURN_INTERVAL on those hosts that use MultiNet SMTP support. If you want users to be able to use the SMTP% protocol prefix in OpenVMS MAIL, you have the following options:
• Route the SMTP%"..." messages through PMDF by adding the following command to your system startup:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC MAIL$PROTOCOL_SMTP PMDF_MAILSHR
• Add the following command to your system startup:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC MULTINET_SMTP_RETURN_INTERVAL "4 00:00:00"
• Add the following command to your system startup (after MultiNet is started):
$ @MULTINET:START_SMTP DEBUG
This command starts the queue and defines the logical names even though MultiNet
SMTP support is disabled.
Facility: OpenVMS porting
Meaning: This message occurs when a program ported to the AXP includes UCX files instead of MultiNet files.
Action: Include only MultiNet files.
Facility: FINGER
Meaning: A FINGER server violated the RFC and sent only LF and not CRLF for thousands of characters. FINGER failed with this message.
Action: Inform the administrator at the site that you were accessing with FINGER.
Facility: TCPDUMP
Meaning: When trying to trace an NFS problem, TCPDUMP failed and displayed this message.
Action: The image was corrupted. Re-install the image from your MultiNet distribution.
Facility: Xterminals
Meaning: An X terminal failed and all windows disappeared.
Action: Contact Technical Support if MultiNet was running at the time of failure.
Facility: RSHELL
Meaning: While using rsh on a UNIX host under C-Shell (csh), the use of a dash in the command caused an error.
Action: Quote the option using this format:
% rsh somewhere someprogram \"-CaseSensitiveOption\"
rsh commands can also fail because SHOW DISPLAY requires the WSA device name
as its parameter or uses the WSA device pointed to by DECW$DISPLAY.
All X Window System programs that run on an OpenVMS host accept the "-display"
option to pass the display location for DECnet connections only. For TCP/IP
connections, wrap the program you want to run from the OpenVMS host in a DCL
command file that creates the WSA device for you before invoking the program, as
shown in the following sample program:
$! MyXProgram.Com
$ S = 'F$Verify(0)
$ Remote_Node = F$TrnLNM("MULTINET_RSHELL_ADDRESS")
$ Set Display/Create/Node="''Remote_Node'"/Transport=TCPIP
$ Run MyXProgram
$ Exit
To run the preceding program from a UNIX host, issue the following command:
% rsh vax \@MyXProgram
RSHELL does not return unless you create a detached process on the VAX on which
you run your program.
Facility: SEND or POP
Meaning: If this message appears after an attempt to use MULTINET SEND, the command failed because the MULTINET_SMTP_QUEUE logical was not defined on the current system.
If this message appears when using POP, POP3_SERVER.COM was run interactively.
Action: For MULTINET SEND, start SMTP with the following command:
$ START/QUEUE MULTINET_SMTP_QUEUE
For POP, POP3_SERVER.COM is run internally when a user connects to the POP3 port.
Facility: RRESTORE
Meaning: An HP host client sent an "S" status request after an rrestore if lowgmo:mt: command was invoked. This status request is non-standard and is not implemented by any vendors other than Hewlett-Packard.
Action: There is no known workaround.
Facility: MULTINET CHECK
Meaning: This message appeared while running MULTINET CHECK.
Action: An interface has not transmitted any packets. Error reporting of this condition was improved in MultiNet V3.2 and later. Upgrade to the latest version of MultiNet.
Facility: SYSGEN
Meaning: The VIRTUALPAGECNT parameter is set too low.
Action: Assign a higher value (at least 50000) to the VIRTUALPAGECNT parameter and reboot the host.
Facility: REXEC
Meaning: The following situations can cause this error:
• If you have rexec enabled, the PATHWORKS client assumes you are on a UNIX host.
• If you have an interactive prompt in your LOGIN.COM command procedure, the client tries to connect to the VAX using Telnet after rexec fails. It does not negotiate the terminal type, which causes some hosts to prompt interactively for the terminal type. This causes the client to hang and time out eventually.
• If you set your prompt to something other than "$", once the client establishes a TELNET connection it sends the user name and password and waits for the "$" prompt to return from the OpenVMS host.
Reset your prompt to "$", or look for the client-side option that allows you to define the prompt you are expecting.
• If DECnet is not running on your host, once the client logs on to your host it tries to open a DCL file channel to the DECnet object that handles remote application startup. If DECnet is not installed, this operation might fail.
• If your PC clock is too fast, the PC can start sending commands over TELNET so fast they overrun the DCL command line buffer. If you have a 386 30 MHz (or faster) host, try switching the turbo button to the slow setting.
Facility: Kerberos TELNET
Meaning: MultiNet stops unexpectedly and this message appears. Kerberos cannot allocate an internal data structure.
Action: Either the page file quota for the master server and/or the SYSGEN parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT is set too low. Increase these parameters.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: Because an OpenVMS user was accessing a file when the client requested it, the server received an unexpected SS$_ACCONFLICT error message from the OpenVMS XQP.
Action: Retry the access again later.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: A system error occurred while attempting to make the entry in the Kerberos database. No more space is available in the database.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY
Meaning: Tickets were destroyed successfully.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY
Meaning: An error occurred during a MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY activity with a cause other than ENOENT (no such file or directory). Causes can be:
• A protection error
• Access permissions are not correct
• File is locked by another process
Action: Make sure protection and access permissions are correct, and no other processes have access to the file.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: Because the directory and file cache is too large for one or more of the process quotas with which the server is configured, the server received an unexpected SS$_EXQUOTA error message from the OpenVMS XQP.
Action: Reduce the cache or increase process quotas as needed, and restart the server.
Facility: NFS
Meaning: The directory of the NFS mount point has privileges that restrict access.
Action: Create a subdirectory of the mount point named .nfs-tmp-directory. Or, if you use the /SEMANTICS=VMS_FILENAMES qualifier to the NFSMOUNT command, name the directory nfs-tmp-directory.dir. Give this directory 777 permissions. The NFS Client sees this directory and uses it for files instead of the mount point.
Debug this setup by displaying packets with the TCPDUMP/RPC=ALL/SNAP=1500
command of the NFS transactions associated with invoking TPU.
Facility: TELNET
Meaning: This error appears while accessing a Sun workstation on the same Ethernet connection. PING to the Sun works. This can occur with a misconfigured broadcast address MultiNet assumes is being accessed with TELNET.
Action: Enter the following command:
$ MULTINET SHOW/INTERFACE SE0
You can determine the broadcast address on the UNIX host with the ifconfig command,
as shown in the following example:
fnord% /etc/ifconfig le0
le0: flags=63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING>
inet 161.44.128.66 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 161.44.128.255
Facility: LPD
Meaning: Printing between hosts fails.
Action: Determine if the print queue is visible by running the following command:
$ MULTINET SHOW/QUEUE=queuename
Make sure user names match on both hosts. If they don't, set a default LPD user
name for jobs from users who do not have corresponding user names on your host.
Set a default LPD user name with the SET LPD-DEFAULT-USERNAME in the
MULTINET CONFIGURE utility, and by setting the
MULTINET_LPD_DEFAULT_USERNAME logical to the same login name.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server encountered an error while trying to write a temporary file.
Action: Check that there is sufficient disk space and that the server has sufficient privileges to write to disk (typically SYS$SCRATCH).
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: An error occurred while trying to start the server. The server failed to open the socket handed off by the master server.
Action: Check the IMAP service configuration. The configuration should be similar to the following:
service-name IMAP
program MULTINET:IMAP_SERVER.COM
socket-type SOCK_STREAM
socket-options SO_KEEPALIVE
socket-address AF_INET , 143
INIT TCP_Init
LISTEN TCP_Listen
CONNECTED TCP_Connected
SERVICE Run_Program
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS
Meaning: An attempt to read the local realm name from the KERBEROS.CONFIGURATION file was unsuccessful.
Action: Check the KERBEROS.CONFIGURATION file to ensure the first line contains the local realm name and the file is world-readable.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: An error occurred while trying to start the server. The server failed to retrieve the address of the connecting client.
Action: Contact Technical Support.
Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT
Meaning: The Kerberos database was not updated during a MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT session because no changes to the principal being edited were made.
Action: Check the information entered, and ensure only the system manager has access to the Kerberos database.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers which are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: MultiNet NFS Server
Meaning: One or more process quotas are insufficient for server needs.
Action: Raise the size of the process quotas or reduce the size of the directory and file cache.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server attempted to parse or search a message that specified an unknown or invalid character set.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server detected a corrupt Date field in a VMS mail message.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers which are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.
Facility: RLOGIN
Meaning: RLOGIN fails because the .RHOSTS file contains incorrect information.
Action: Specify a host name, not an IP address, in the .RHOSTS file. The host name can be obtained as shown in the following example:
$ REM_HOST = F$ELEMENT(0,"/",F$GETDVI("TT","TT_ACCPORNAM"))
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "Remote login from ", REM_HOST
Facility: IMAP Server
Meaning: The server attempted to parse a message which contained data encoded with an unknown MIME version.
Action: None. The message must be read as plain text.
Facility: DOS ( on the OpenVMS host)
Meaning: A LOGIN directory has not been created in the SYS: volume. When the user logs in, that user is logged out immediately.
Action: Create a directory for the user and copy the contents of a PC server's LOGIN directory to the new directory.
Facility: X11
Meaning: These messages appear while running an application that creates an X11 terminal window. Running MULTINET X11DEBUG shows that the UCX driver was not loaded.
Action: Use MULTINET CONFIGURE with the SET LOAD-UCX-DRIVER TRUE command and reload the MultiNet server. When you complete these steps, run X11DEBUG to ensure all tests pass.
Facility: X11
Meaning: The specified IP address could not be reached.
Action: Refer to the X11DEBUG messages that follow for a complete description.
Facility: X11DEBUG
Meaning: The host at the specified IP address is not running.
Action: Refer to the X11DEBUG messages that follow for a complete description. This error can be caused when an X server is not loading the "TCPIP" transport. The security database may not contain fully qualified domain names or DNS may not be running.
Facility: X11DEBUG
Meaning: The "TCPIP" transport is not enabled.
Action: Configure the security database on the MultiNet host. Under DECwindows, select the Security option from the Options menu in the Session Manager. Add the fully qualified host name of the host. Use an asterisk (*) for the user name and "TCPIP" for the transport.
Facility: "TCPIP" transport
Meaning: A problem is reported with the "TCPIP" transport not finding hosts. MULTINET X11DEBUG is run and reports these messages.
Action: Specify the full name of the host to be accessed and the full name of local host. UCX $QIO emulation does not consult a HOSTALIASES file, and does not do "domain-searching" for the name.
Facility: X11
Meaning: This message is self-explanatory. SET DISPLAY is a DCL command for directing the output of a DECwindows application.
Action: Ensure the server is functioning and use SHOW DISPLAY to check the server number.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The logical name value was expected on the gateway and was not found.
Action: Confirm the gateway has been configured properly. Define the logical name specified as part of the error.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The gateway was unable to translate hostname to an IP address.
Action: Check the configuration and ensure the host is specified correctly.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The socket call while opening the IP connection failed. Examine errno for more information.
Action: Translate errno_value using the information in Table B-2.
Facility: X11-Gateway
Meaning: The setsockopt() call while opening the IP connection failed. Examine errno for more information.
Action: Translate errno_value using the information in Table B-2.
