Thank you very much!
However,
# sudo ifdown eth0
did not work, I got
# Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
(why?)
but this worked:
# sudo ifconfig eth0 down
# sudo setether 57.5 eth0
# dnlogin fyvax7
Welcome to VAX/VMS V5.5-2H4 on node FYVAX7 Username:
Success!
So I was right, it was the startup order.
For the time being, I can do this manually.
But for the future, the remaining thing would be to adapt to the "upstart" scheme.
But this is beyond me, at least for the moment.

Hello Bengt,
How many ethernet connection are you using?
The machines i've been using have 2 network cards,
one dedicated to decnet,
one for general use
I've been trying to get the same error as you,
and think i've managed it by reconfiguring to just use 1 card,
If i restart machine, then network mac adress isn't getting set
(ie; ifconfig shows normal mac address)
Way round it is to:-
i) Shutdown networking
(depends on how network is configured)
sudo ifdown eth0
ii) manually set mac address
sudo setether 1.3 eth0
(substitute your dec node for 1.2)
iii) test decnet
dnlogin fyvax7
iv) restart networking
(again depends on how network is configured)
sudo ifup eth0
Hope this helps,
hopefully, easy solutiion will be to buy additional network card
Regards
Mike

Re: [Linux-decnet-user] Supported
linux systems?
Thanks for the info.
I am trying to set up a "intelligent terminal" to support a VAX hardware
control system, where the main control is connected via a serial line.
Decnet would be a significant enhancement to the work environment, since
you could open several parallel connections without additional serial
lines. The system has ethernet, but the VMS we have to use is too old to
support ssh.
It is a multi-user system so I prefer Ubuntu since it is more friendly to
the unix-illiterate user.
I suspect (I have stated this before) that my problem has to do with the
Ubuntu "upstart" boot sequence, and it seems decnet is not started before
tcpip. I am not compenent enough to control this, I guess someone who is
should have a look at it and hopefully adapt the package accordingly. Or at
least identfy what the problem is and suggest a fix if possible.
Anyway, whatever I do I get this message:
bnilsson@ubuntu:~$ dnlogin fyvax7
Cannot connect to fyvax7: Rejected by object
Is there ay way I can I invoke a more detailed error message?

Nothing is really 'supported' in the sense that you get guaranteed
response to problems. But if you just want a system that will run
DECnet
then any Linux system will do.
It helps if the distribution ships with the DECnet kernel module, I
know
that Debian and Fedora do and I *think* that SuSE used to. If you
have a
distribution that doesn't then you'll have to build your own kernel.
The
easy way to check for this is just to type "modprobe decnet" in a
root
shell - if it doesn't return an error then off you go :-)
Debian also has the DECnet userspace programs packaged and part of
the
distro and it's moderately easy to set up. As far as I know no other
distribution does this and there are no 3rd party packages that work.
Having said that, it's pretty easy to build the software from source.
The FAQ has some details about distriutions, but I'm not sure how
up-to-date it is, sadly.

What linux flavors are supported for running Decnet?
Obvously, Ubuntu seems not supported.
