I didnt forget startup, I did that.
and I fat-fingered openvms ;) blah :)
yeah as I thought the pre-expired is likely the issue.
without the license I always get "no license" error on console. every time.
I'll try turning off the expiry and see how it goes.
I have two other systems to test before that.

actually, you do. to do an "interactive

No, actually, you don't. Console login doesn't require a valid license.
See the OpenVMS FAQ. Please note that "console" does not mean the
graphics device. You will get a "nolicense" error if that's the case.
otherwise you need to do the password bypass
method
I used B/R5 break method, set /startup opa0:, set writesysparams 0,
continue, spawn
after that run authorize, change password. logout, login, failed.
thats what the openvpn faq suggests, and I believe I've used it before.
Perhaps if you use the Open *VMS* FAQ it'd work better. :-)
After "spawn", you forgot "@SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP". Without that, the
necessary protected shared libraries won't be installed. However, you
probably did execute that, as you can't run authorize without those
being installed.
You may have a disabled system account or some other problem. Perhaps
just using UAFALTERNATE set to 1 will work.
In AUTHORIZE, "mod
system/password=whatever/nopwdexpired/flags=(nodisuser,nocaptive,nopwd_expired,norestricted)"
Those are the most likely bogon flags that could be causing you
problems that I can think of.
