If I try to rlogin into Debian, and the originating machine's IP and hostname cannot be validated to be the same, then rlogin fails.
That's a feature, not a problem. In this case, the two machines requesting an rlogin connection are not listed in our DNS, nor do they appear in my /etc/hosts. Trying to rlogin from the misconfigured Sun, I get the error: shcsun8 32 % rlogin mixing Protocol error, mixing.qc.dfo.ca closed connection >From Slackware 3.0, I get the error: $ rlogin mixing mixing.qc.dfo.ca: No such file or directory (Now that one is weird!) On the Debian PC hosting the connection, I only get entries like: daemon.log: Aug 14 08:10:42 mixing in.rlogind[9636]: connect from 142.130.48.22 No errors are logged. Shouldn't they be? The problems go away if I put entries for them in /etc/hosts, but it's difficult to clue in on the problem since nothing is logged. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
