What I really want to do is use Microsoft Visual C++ on a Windows 2000
PC to edit C source files that reside on an Alpha. Until now, I have
FTP'ed the files between PC and Alpha, but that is such a pain that I
am now trying to use Advanced Server (Pathworks).
I have installed Advanced Server V7.3A on an Alpha running OpenVMS
7.3-2, with "Advanced Server and OpenVMS" as the security model, and
the following configuration:
1. Run the License Server: NO
2. Enable Timesource service: NO
3. Enable Alerter service: NO
4. Enable Netlogon service: YES
5. Advanced Server domain: MY_DOMAIN
6. Advanced Server role: PRIMARY
7. Advanced Server computer name: MY_NODE
8. Server announce comment: Advanced Server V7.3A for OpenVMS
9. Advanced Server language: English (USA)
10. Enable NT style printing: NO
With Advanced Server running, I created a local user "USER1" (the same
user name as my VMS account), and created a share on some directories
with the options /NOPERMISSIONS/PERMISSIONS=(USER1=FULL). Logging into
Windows as the the user "USER1", I can access the share, and can open
files, but cannot save them - the Windows error is:
"Cannot access this file.
Check security privileges over the network."
If I change the security model to "Advanced Server" only, I can save
and create files. Why is this, and do I need to worry about it from a
security point of view?
Another question - when a file is edited and saved from the Windows
end, it retains its original version number on the OpenVMS file
system, and the "date modified" attribute of the file is updated. I
would much prefer it if a new version was created, as happens when the
file is edited and saved in OpenVMS. Can I change this behaviour?
Also, is there any way to see the different versions of a file from
the Windows end?
While I'm at it, I vaguely recall hearing that there is some kind of
DEC C "add-in" for Microsoft Visual C++. Does anyone know where I
could find some information about this product?
