it is needed to perform a BACKG STOP,LOGON explicitly! It will not "help"
to abort the BACKG job.

Best regards, Andreas

Andreas,

I too prefer the BACKG method to the system wide UDC for Security/3000
and
use it regularly. One thing you said below caught my attention. It seems
to me that once BACKG (with logon running) is streamed, if you stop it the
Security/3000 hook is still in place. So, stopping the BACKG [...]37_4May200110:08:[log in to unmask]

You should have no problem running 6.5 on a 9x7 machine provided that you
have phased out any and all HPIB and HPFL devices that are on such a system.
My first guess is that one or more drives might be HPIB.  This is a real pain
if you have disc drives to replace before you can migrate to MPE/iX 6.5.  You
might also have an older reel to reel 7980 type tape drive or an older DDS-1
DAT tape drive.  HPIB printers will not work with 6.5 but I cannot imagine
their presence at the end of a non-functional interface causing a problem
with loading of 6.5.
