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
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
Meaning: This error occurs while installing MultiNet, and may be followed by:

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 t
