   Discovered _which_ logical name?

   Who brought SFTP into this conversation?


   I probably set up my stuff in an earlier version, and
upgraded into this one, but (omitting some blank lines):

alp $ ssh alp-l tcpip show version

@ SYS$MANAGER:ANNOUNCE.TXT      [I always enjoy that.]

Authentication successful.

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 5
  on a COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 running OpenVMS V8.3

alp $


   As usual, showing actual commands with their actual output
can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.  Saying that you did everything right can be
less helpful than saying exactly what you did.  Saying that
everything looks right can be less helpful than showing what
you see.
