|  |     In earlier notes I believe I read that it is possible with ULTRIX DW, 
    but not VMS DW in the current version.

|  | It's possible to a limited extent on VMS.  All of the text strings in the login
dialog box are controlled by the resource file in SYS$LIBRARY:.  You can hack
these and put the hacked version in your node's SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB].

    boxes untouched....... thanks for the input anyway.

| 678.4 | This might work | 60464::LUK | Don't worry, be yuppie | Wed May 17 1989 22:59 | 15 | 
|  |     This is actually possible by creating a command procedure as follows:
     $ set display/create/node=0/transport=local
     $ run sys$system:decw$clock ! For example
    Then, with appropriate privileges from a set host'ed terminal
     $ run/detach/process="Alarm"/input=above_file.com/out=nl: -
	/error=a_log_file.lis  sys$system:loginout
    The window will stay around even when someone logs in, but dies with a
    logout

Re: .-1
I got the following error message by executing the above_file.com
mentioned in you note from a set host'ed terminal. The workstation was in
login mode with login screen displayed. Any security procedures needed to
be done ?
$ set display/create/node=0/transport=local
$ run sys$system:decw$clock ! For example
XIO: non-translatable vms error code: 0x2DBA002, vms message:
%decw-e-cnxabort, connection aborted
%XLIB-F-IOERROR, xlib io error
Thanks for any help.
Regards
Nick

    >>be done ?
    You have to use the SYSTEM account (otherwise modify the unsupported
    DECW$ACCESS_ALLOWED and DECW$ACCESS_TRUSTED files mentioned elsewhere in
    this conference .. I think)
    >>XIO: non-translatable vms error code: 0x2DBA002, vms message:
    This error translates to:
    %DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
    I've never seen it before !!

      For the benefit of anyone else trying to bypass the DECwindows login
      screen for a window of their own: 
 
      Note 1498 in the OLD DECwindows conference show how to use a file in 
      SYS$MANAGER to grant remote access to the server without having to 
      login at the workstation.
      This should shorten the search if anyone else is trying to look this
      up here.
