This is all done in the c library (gethostbyname(), >etc.). Well, that's what I thought. That's why I was *totally* suprised when all of a sudden I wasn't getting those log entries any more.... It took me a while to track down my changes to figure out what "fixed" it. ---snip--- >The only weird thing is that the error indicates that the *client's* >canonical name couldn't be found.

And that's why, in causually troubleshooting this problem in the past, I never considered that the problem was even on the local system.... I thought it was some NetBIOS thing or something bizarre.... But, things were working, so I've been ignoring it.... Oh, and the box is not used at the console - no monitor/kb even attached. Anyway, just thought I'd post and see if anyone had any comments.... Later, Kevin Traas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
