VMS logon

J.H.Knigge — Wed, 31 Mar 2004 09:24:31 GMT

Our users are logging on to the system via TELNET.
This is generating the following messages on the console:

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 31-MAR-2004 16:15:24.17 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user INTERnet on CALYPS
TELNET Login Request from Remote Host: 172.16.70.9 Port: 1154

CAL_MGR$
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 31-MAR-2004 16:15:39.00 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user INTERnet on CALYPS
TELNET Logout Request from Remote Host: 172.16.70.9 Port: 1154

Is there a way to prevent this, because I don't want all those messages on the console (and also not in the operator.log file?
(maybe I've to set a system-parameter or an
logical?)

I'm running VAX/VMS 6.2 and UCX4.2

my regards,
Henk Knigge

Hi Henk,

To disable this type of message from console, give the following command:

$reply/disable=(network)

or you may be interested in following command:

$reply/disab=(network,secu)

And also if you do not want these message in operator.log file also, then define the logical OPC$OPA0_CLASSES accordingly. The do reply/log to create new operator.log file.

HTH,
Best regards,
Lokesh Jain

TCPIP SET SERVICE TELNET/LOG_OPTION=(NOLOGIN,NOLOGOUT)
TCPIP DISABLE SERVICE TELNET
TCPIP ENABLE SERVICE TELNET

beware the disable command will DISCONNECT ALL ACTIVE TELNET SESSIONS INCLUDING YOURS.

See
TCPIP HELP SET SERVICE /LOG~_OPTION

for more details

Hello Henk,

Ians suggestion is very good. It will selectively suppress the two messages you were quoting. Lokeshs approach is much broader and will silence many more messages than the ones given in your example.

Greetings, Martin
