I dunno nothing about the submit/remote issue, but the general mechanism
for controlling access on the Ultrix side is the /etc/dnet_proxy file.

Listing a node::user -> login translation in this file bypasses the
normal ultrix "login:" security and I'd assume it would also work for
other DECnet mediated forms of remote access.

To execute jobs/commands on VMS from an Ultrix system, there is a sample
"tell" command distributed with the DECnet stuff and a corresponding 
batch file for the VMS side.  Other possibilities are possible using the
underlying DECnet object capabilities.

Also, I read in one of the rags about a new DEC product that was supposed
to provide VMS style queueing on Ultrix systems so that VMS types could
use the RISC systems for remote job submission.
