I have been having problems with registeriong deregistering a node using
DECMCC vX1.2.5 on VMS 5.5. Attached is a log to demonstrate the problem,
can anyone offer assistance. I am using the local "MIR" not DNS...
Thanks,
John B.

| 2709.2 | The directory name cannot be used as an object name | TRM::KWAK | Tue Apr 21 1992 09:59 | 21 | |

    RE: .0
    
    After examing a dump of the Local MIR repository, it was found that
    there was a bug in the MCC Kernel code.
    
    The problem happend when a Circuit entity ".dna_node.mro2ac.syn-0"
    was registered first, and then a node4 entity ".dna_node.mro2ac"
    was registered. Note that the name ".dna_node.mr02ac" was used as
    a directory name in the Circuit entity AND an object name in the
    Node4 entity.  This is not allowed in DNS because a DNS entry (object,
    directory, or softlink) has to be unique and an existing directory name 
    cannot be used as a new object name. However, the Local MIR codes
    allowed this to happen.                                     
    
    For Field Test update (T1.2.7), a fix was made such that a directory
    name cannot be used as an object name in Local MIR on VMS.
    
    Thanks for finding the problem.
    
    William
