Of course you can recognize a VAX when after the connection is made u
listen to a BEEP and u see somenthing like:

                        Welcome to VAX/VMS V5.4

or somenthing like:


                 Welcome to VAX/VMS V5.0 on node HACKER

If you don't enter in the VAX with this funny accounts, try to enter
surnames like:

           ROSSI, BIANCHI, ANDERSON, ADAMS, SIMPSON ...

or names like:

           MARIO, SILVIA, MARK, ERIC, PETER ...


If after the connection to a VAX/VMS u see somenthing like:

          Welcome to VAX/VMS V5.3 on node LARRY1

try to enter with the LARRY1 account, and I am sure it will work.
Personally I entered a lot of times with the name of the node....
I can't understand why the Operator creates that account.

Well, if you are an  Operator  and you want to protect a VAX/VMS
by Hacking attemps into it I recommend you to protect the SYSTEM
account password of course,
and to delete accounts like FIELD, SYSTEST, etc...   so the only
privileged account will be the   SYSTEM  one and with it you can
do all the things that u usually do with the  FIELD  and SYSTEST
accounts.

After that, start to create accounts for your dependents like:

           ID001                :
           ID002                :
           ID003                :  For the password use
            ...                 :  things very difficult likes:
                                :
or is better things like:        :  S03JDJH28DJH8SFND
                                :        or
           AAX01                :  39283812232312333
           BAX02                :
           CAX03                :  Don't use password like:
           DAX04                :
           EAX05                :  MILAN,INTER,JACK,SPORT,MUSIC ...
            ...                 :
                                :


Well dear Operator, when you create this accounts don't give the ALL
privileges to all....   remember that the only privileged account is
the SYSTEM one:

UAF> ADD ID001/PASSWORD=34239382333   <--- It's ok.

UAF> ADD ID001/PRIV=ALL               <--- It's bad.
                                          You gived the ALL privs to
                                          a normal account and you
                                          haven't defined the password.

Well, that's all.
