I'm a very talented multimedia developer/artist, soon to be entrepreneurial; who is looking to develop a professional network of individuals whom are looking for graphical interface design services in the operating system sector. I'm hoping that if anybody reads this, and is interested, that they could maybe connect me to somebody interested in raising the bar on their users gui experience. It would be excellent if somebody could refer me to somebody involved in DECwindows / VMS development team, that might be interested. If you're thinking this sounds good, just drop me a line at infinitus_2005@hotmail.com I'd be happy to show examples of my work.

You would create a new window and populate it with widgets from both the original windows and create new callbacks for each function that was common to both original windows (such as File -> Open) that would end up doing a callback for that function for each of the original window. Would make for some most interest results. And in terms of multiplying windows, this has been done before. Think about javascript sites that would pop up adverts constantly to your window and whenever you close one of those adverts, it caused 2 more adverts to pop up :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:16:08 -0500 From: "David Turner, Island Computers" Subject: Infoserver 1000 Software Message-ID: <13kous169tufj03@news.supernews.com> Part number is QA something or other on CDROM It's for a friend that can't find the right info I don't do vaxes and infoservers so any help would be appreciated -- David B Turner Island Computers US Corp 2700 Gregory St, Suite 180 Savannah GA 31404 T: 877-6364332 x201 Intl: 001 912 447 6622 E: dturner@islandco.com F: 912 201 0402 W: http://www.islandco.com The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.

Yep. When it was in WML, it was much better organised into cards (virtual pages). So with one transaction, you have the info and could then very quickly access it. But with XHTML, one is limited to 12 access keys (the numeric keypad). First generation WAP required the use of a WAP gateway/proxy which compiled the pages into compressed binary WML before being sent over the air to the handsets. That WAP gateway also added plenty of HTTP headers to the request being sent to the server, including a field identifying the customer. But newer handsets can now bypass the WAP gateway and make their own HTTP requests to remote servers, so identifying information is no longer necessarily available. So I may end up having to have a page that requests your username/password as well as check boxes on what content you are interested in. It would add to the number of keystrokes needed to get to the information though. > displayed the information for the VAX, the temperature shows a very > low temp, since the VAX can't show the temp. "very low" is an understatement :-) My vax is very cool at -273°C :-) I hardcoded the value more as a test of the logic. It started off with "N/A" but that didn't really look cool. This script currently runs on that VAX and obtaining temperatures was no so simple since they haven't updated VAX-VMS to support F$GETSYI("TEMPERATURE_VECTOR") when requesting info about other nodes. So it has to do decnet connections to each node to obtain their temperatures. > This should be customizable for each installation and possibly > different for large disks vs. small disks. Since it is DCL, it is customizable :-) Just wondering though if people would just want some variables defined at the top do they don't have to look at the code, or whether they would end up looking/modifying the code anyways to fit their particular needs. Some sites might wish to add code to check for particular stuff on their cluster for instance, or flag certain thing with a colour etc etc. Or perhaps adding more intelligence to it and displaying only information that is "odd". For instance displaying stopped queues only, or disks that have usage above X% and/or more than 0 errors. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:01:30 +0000 From: "R.A.Omond" Subject: Re: SET SECURITY /SECRECY Message-ID: Michael Moroney wrote: > "Tom Linden" writes: > > >>On Tue, 27 Nov 2007 01:09:23 -0800, bradhamilton = > > >> wrote: > > >>>Peter 'EPLAN' LANGSTOEGER wrote: >>> >>>>In article <89655$474ac9d3$cef8887a$32349@TEKSAVVY.COM>, JF Mezei >>>> writes: >>>> >>>>>HELP on 8.3 says "Reserved for us by HP". >>>>> >>>>>What happens if I type that command ? >>>> >>>> %DCL-W-VALREQ, missing qualifier or keyword value - supply all >>>>required values >>>> You know, for SEVMS you need(ed) some more commands/qualifiers... >>>> >>> >>>Whoops - that should read: >>>$ set sec/sec=cia >>>%DCL-W-NOPAREN, value improperly delimited - supply parenthesis >>> \CIA\ >>>$ set sec/sec=(cia) >>>_Object: Exit >>>$ create foo.tmp >>> Exit >>>$ set sec/sec=(cia) foo.tmp >>> >>>Now I'm in real trouble... :-) >>> >>> >> >>Does that actually do anything for the file attributes? > > > FWIW, the qualifier value is an ACL of some sort. > A few other SET commands also take /SECRECY as a parameter. > > If we don't hear from you, we'll know you found the answer or at least got > close...

No, this will not work if you have ordinary VMS images, but if there were actually a demand for MAC they could revive the support.

On the commercial systems that I used to manage, that method would always fail. SYLOGIN.COM had code in it to disable all non-proxy decnet logins. It made sure that no one put a username and password combination in a command file to remotely access a production machine. Incoming FTP was also disabled for most accounts. > Or would it be considered far more secure/safe/efficient to write an > application installed with privileges that checks the > username/password/privs via $GETUAI system service ? > > Is there any sample code that verifies a password and if wrong, does the > right calls to log that failed login attempt ? I am not aware of any sample code. I do know that a frequent mistake is to validate the passwords on disabled accounts, or to ignore other login restrictions. And as LJK posted, for newer releases you can use the ACM$ calls, on VAX, you need to generate the intrusion calls other logging manually. -John wb8tyw@qsl.network Personal Opinion Only ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:09:15 -0800 (PST) From: Sue Subject: Update on Friday's Blade Short take Message-ID: <611bcec1-32af-4939-8b45-ec39ecfe4262@x69g2000hsx.googlegroups.com> Thank you very much for everyone that has signed up for Friday's Blade web cast. HP has gotten a larger room as a result of customer participation. Just in case you are not part of my email list here is the original note that went out. This is one of my favorites because it is the first OpenVMS Short take and this training is not usually offered for free so customers really win. There is a VMS Blade session being offered for FREE by HP through the Technical On Line Seminar group http://www.hp.com/hps/tos/ OpenVMS on Blades: Updates and Futures (Short Take event) This 1-hour training event focuses on the OpenVMS 8.3-1H1 release and its support of c-Class Integrity HP Blade System environments. Topics include supported Blade System servers, storage, IO interconnects, boot options, system management support, and operating system provisioning. Also covered are future OpenVMS Blade System support plans. The seminar is aimed at system administrators who manage c-Class Blade System environments. Basic knowledge of OpenVMS and c-Class blades will aid understanding of seminar material.
