 ???????????   ???????????

Computer software doesn't do "likely" things.  It does what it's coded to.

Paul was right, it is gotten from SYS$NODE.  Dick is wrong, it is NOT gotten
from the SCS (not SCCS) node name via GETSYI.  It is easy to verify this:

#If you change SYS$NODE and attempt a post to a topic, you STILL get the right
#node name.

Oh no, it works for me.  You should try getting CMEXEC privs, and
changing the logical name in the correct access mode.  You'd be
amazed how that works much more likely than not.

Not exactly.  Most likely you'd get uucp, which is NOT connected.
