   Since VMS V5 none default proxies can be used.

   I would like to know how I can access a VMS none default proxy
   entry from an ultrix system ?
   Basically I need to be able to enter a NIL password, I guess in dcp 
   decnet copy operations from the ultrix to the VMS system.

 A command as in :
 
       % dcp filename vmssystem/username/password::'filename' (1)

works fine.But when one wants to access a none default proxy entry on the
VMS system you need to do something like:

       % dcp filename vmssystem/username//::'filename' (2)

 The problem here is that vms than thinks a connect requests is given
for that user with a  password which is empty resulting in 'access
control rejected ...'

       % dcp filename vmssystem/username::'filename'  (3)

does not work either because then ultrix interactively prompts for
a password.
Pressing return leads to the same situation as in (2).

 I can use none default proxy entries between VMS systems as in

      $ copy filename vmsystem"username"::        (4)

 in which username is one of the none default proxy entries granted to me.
So I guess essentialy what I am asking is what is an equivalent kommand
for (4) under ultrix ?

  (I am (still) running Ultrix 1.2 but I guess this question is as
relevant for later Ultrix versions)

                                          Thanks for any info
