If you install and run DECnet, it clobbers the database of
DECservers built by /usr/lib/dnet/dsvconfig and used by ccr
(/usr/lib/dnet/nodes_v).  Furthermore, the DECnet ncp
command is incapable of adding DECservers to its own
database.  I was able to salvage the DECserver database and
force feed it to ncp with the following:

    # cd /usr/lib/dnet
    # ncp set executor state off
    # awk -f awk.script dsvconfig.dat | csh -v
    # cp nodes_v nodes_p
    # ncp set executor state on

It looks like dsvconfig will properly maintain both
databases (nodes_v and nodes_p) afterward, but I have only
glanced at the shell script, not run it extensively.

Following is the contents of "awk.script" refered to above:
	{
	print "addnode", $1, "-c", $3, "-h", $4, "-l", $5, "-D", $6
	}

Cheers,
