it's networked! (my VAXstation)

Yeeeeehah!

I devoted maybe four hours today and yesterday to reading more
about VMS, paks, UCX vs. TCPIP, DECNet plus and such stuff, and
I was finally able (after a two year hiatus) to install
the TCPIP product more or less correctly in my Vaxstation 4000/60.
It seems to work and I could finally ftp the complete hobbyst
paks to it (before I had to do each by hand). I get errors on
startup about some proxy database.

I think that I still have some configuration errors (especially
in the DECnet plus side, but then again, I won't be using it
to communicate with anything else DECnet), but the basic stuff
seems to run (telnet and ftp clients and servers).

Question: where can I get ssh for vax openvms 7.2?

Question: can somebody tell me what are the step by step
          commands/dcl incantations to create a user with
          reasonable privileges? (I don;t want to login remotely
          to the system account). And, does the concept of
          a user home directory exist in vms? Where does one
          normally create user directories?

Regards,

carlos.
