No.
OK. I guess it was just wishful thinking. :-)
What kind of person wishes they could use DECnet? ;)
Don't ask Lawrence. :-) There are way too many people around here
who seem to think it's still OK to use DECnet these days...
I don't know if you saw the postings, but I actually found some
dodgy stuff in DECnet Phase IV a couple of years ago. Things that
were not immediately obviously exploitable, but stuff that still
should not be there, such as a fully-privileged EVL or the ability
to crash EVL remotely using a malformed packet.
I wonder if VSI ever got around to fixing the list of DECnet Phase IV
issues I sent them. I am assuming not because I never heard anything
back from them to say they had fixed them.
