    After more testing I have found that the problem is in DNS I do not 
    have the dns directory phasev_tbu:.MCC.DOMAIN.tbu_ult I do have the
    following directories:
    
                                      AT  30-JAN-1992:10:50:29
    DNA_BackTranslation
    dna_node
    DNA_NodeSynonym
    DTSS_GlobalTimeServers
    MCC
    MCC_Bridge_BackTranslation
    MCC_Concentrator_BackTranslation
    MCC_Sample_BackTranslation
    MCC_SNMP_BackTranslation
    MCC_Station_BackTranslation
    MCC_Terminal_Server_BackTranslation
    
    The directory mcc is empty
    
    The problem for me is that I did open a new mcc domain tbu and under it
    tbu_ult.  I also reran the script mcc_dns_basic_setup.csh which is not
    interactive and only build the generic directories.  This leaves me
    with the option of using dns to create the required directories.  Is
    thier a dns configuration script that I am missing?  I would prefer
    that the domain create command do it for me.
    
    thanks again

Hello Jack,

	Re: Problem 1

Yes, it is necessary for you to create directories in DNS to match
those specified in the file /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_autoconfig_prefix.dat.
By default, the directories are ".MCC.DOMAIN" for DOMAIN class entities, 
".DNA_Node" for NODE4 class entities, and ".MCC.IP" for SNMP class entities.

To create these directories, issue the following commands:

setenv DNSROOT .
/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC.DOMAIN
/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC.IP

(You already have ".dna_node".  I am assuming that DNS on ULTRIX is not 
case sensitive, but I am not sure of this.)

If you would rather register all entities at the top level in
DNS, then edit the file /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_autoconfig_prefix.dat
to specify "." as the prefix for DOMAIN and for NODE4, and "phasev_tbu:."
as the prefix for SNMP.  (Where "phasev_tbu:" is the name of your
DNS namespace.)

If you choose to register all entities at the top level in DNS, then
it is not necessary for you to create the directories specified above.
However, you will not be able to make use of any of the MCC map files and
registration scripts generated by Autoconfiguration using the old version
of /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_autoconfig_prefix.dat.

	Re: Problem 2

When running DECmcc IP Autoconfiguration, you should be able to 
type control-c to exit the script at any time.  After typing control-c,
and typing return when prompted for "Any character to exit", the window
in which the script was running should disappear.  The associated process
should disappear as well. 

Is this not the behavior you are seeing?

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Ulla Figwer

    Hi
    
    Thank you for the help.  I will test that today.  For problem 2 I am
    sure that I tried a cntl c but will be more care full and test it
    again.
    
    thanks again
