The majority of these machines are running Excelan TCP/IP on V.2 although one is running Win TCP/IP on V.3. All machines have complete /etc/hosts files. Machine A will list A, B, C, D Machine B will list B, C Machine D will list A, B, C, D Basically what I'm asking is, is there a gotcha in how rwho determines who to tell about itself or alternatively who to listen to. I thought rwho was pretty straight forward, am I wrong ? Could it have something to do with addressing schemes which changed here a little while back (I can't categorically blame that as I did not notice the behavior for a while). Also, all machines can rlogin etc to each other. Thoughts ? -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nigel Harwood >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Post: Coles Myer Ltd, PO Box 2000 Tooronga 3146, Australia >> << Phone: +61 3 829 6090 E-mail: nigel@cnw01.storesys.coles.oz.au >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
