I remember a file that can be put in the user's login directory that is
run as a part of the login,
like LOGIN.COM in a vax or the .profile under unix. What is the name
of the file?

LOGIN.COM. Also, if there is a LOGIN.COM in [x,0] and the user is
[x,y] for nonzero y, then [x,0]LOGIN.COM is executed before the user's
LOGIN.COM

Correct. V9 and later, because V9 is when integrated support for
command files appeared.
Before V9, the answer is "none".

Sure. Or chain to atpk if a login.cmd file exists. Or any number of
tricks like that.
All of that would be local customization. And the various command
file hacks were just that -- hacks, not particularly elegant, useful,
or reliable, until the whole job was put into the kernel and DCL which
happened in V9.0.

Well, it's V7.. What I wanted to do is setup terminals. I probably
should do that in
tty.cmd huh. The thing is that I don't know how many KBn: I have and in
TTY.CMD
you have to put:
FORCE KB0: KB1: ;SCOPE ;LC INPUT
FORCE KB0: KB2: ;SCOPE ;LC INPUT
In a real PDP11 you would have actual terminals/ttys connected to
physical serial ports.
In my case I have Telnet sessions..but I don't know how many I can
have.. I suppose one
for each job (20 or so?) or does the DZ11 limit the number of KBn: s I
can have?

It sure does. If it's a DZ (whether real, or emulated one tied to a
Telnet session at the emulator) it by definition has 8 ports.
If you want 20 sessions, and they are hooked to DZs, then you'd have
to have at least 3 DZs...

Ron,
On my system, which you have been using, I addressed all these issues at
SYSGEN time. I decided how many terminals I wanted to have, not counting
the console, which isn't attached to the DZ11 multiplexer. I configured for
(I think) two DZ11s, so I can have 16 KBs plus the console (KB0:). I also
set up two pseudo keyboards (PK1:, PK2:), since I used to play with writing
programs for those back in the 1970s. Pseudo-keyboards can run things
without being attached to a physical terminal on a DZ11 port. Kind of like
running a detached job, but not really.
The telnet sessions are tied directly to the DZ11 connections. In the
simulator,
each new telnet session takes the next available DZ11 KB number.
Once you've configured your system and it's SYSGENed, you can go into the
TTY.CMD file to define the terminal characteristics for each "terminal". I
think
on my simh internet telnet version, I had to set them up with the RING
parameter
so it would behave like a dial up connection did back in the old days
(1970s).
When I moved my simulated system's disk image to my real PDP-11 system
with REAL DZ11s, I removed the RING parameter and configured the
TTY.CMD file to match the physical devices that were wired with a serial
cable or 20mA current loop connection to the DZ11. If KB3: was an ASR-33,
I'd have to set the baud rate, etc. in the TTY.CMD to be correct for my
teletype. Same for the VT52 and LA36 terminals. I didn't worry about this
in the simh version because they could all be configured to be VT100s or
VT52s, as long as the telnet users were using VT100 or VT52 emulation.
Does this all make sense?

This is certainly true for a Unibus -11 or an emulation of one.
For completeness, in V7 Qbus support was not official yet (IIRC).
However that doesn't prevent V7 from running on Qbus processors such
as the 11/73. In which case a DZV or DZQ has only 4 lines/board, but
otherwise looks/acts very much like a DZ. [A DHV or DHQ has 8
lines/board.]

The order is: KL/DL11-A; DL11-C/D; DL11-E; PK; DJ11; DH11; DZ11.
Note that PKn: is the controlling end of a pseudo keyboard. If you
asked for two, then the controlling end is PK0 and PK1, which control
respectively KB1 and KB2 (assuming your only single-line interface is
the console). Writing to PK0 is "typing" on KB1.
By the way, Linux has the same concept -- "pty". The "master pty"
is
the PKn:, the "slave pty" is the matching KBm:.
The standard use for PKs is batch jobs and network terminal sessions.

We didn't really use PKs at our implementation in the late 1970s, but there
were two PKs configured in the system, and several of us wrote programs
to use them to do long running tasks like calculate long lists of prime

I heartily concur. I run RSTS/E but my only previous exposure to it was

If you told RSTS you wanted it to support four DZs, yes. Remember
that (until RSTS 9.6) you had to tell SYSGEN how many of what type of
terminal interface to support when doing a system generation (assembly
and link of the terminal driver). You could ask for more than is
actually there, in which case the rest is disabled at startup. If you
ask for less than is there, only what you told to SYSGEN will be
visible.
The simulator's display is warped. It's confusingly reporting that
there are four DZ interfaces, since each has 8 lines, two vectors, and
four CSRs. So the CSR display is reporting the address range used for
all four sets of CSRs. And the vector display is flat wrong, the
correct list would be 300-337 (four sets of 2 2-word vectors).

It sure does. If it's a DZ (whether real, or emulated one tied to a
Telnet session at the emulator) it by definition has 8 ports.
If you want 20 sessions, and they are hooked to DZs, then you'd have
to have at least 3 DZs...

Hmm.. In the simulator, I type show dz
DZ, address=17760100-17760137*, vector=300-334, lines=32, attached
to 232, 8b, 0 connections
Not a very helpful display. But it means that the simulated
_hardware_ is configured for 4 DZs. It does not indicate what RSTS
is 'GEN'd for. Note that the VH display isn't much better:
sim> sho vh
VH, address=17760500-17760577*, vector=340-344, lines=32, 4 units
VH0, not attached, DHV mode
VH1, not attached, DHV mode
VH2, not attached, DHV mode
VH3, not attached, DHV mode
sim>
But at least it does indicate that there are 4 DHV/DHQs.
Does this mean I have 32 KBn: (KB0 - KB31??)
Yes.
