Hi,
I'm posting for a friend.  He's got a group of HP workstations.
The server is running hp-ux 2.1, and a version of the nameserver
obtained from the good folks at hp (binary only), with no garantees.
Here are the symptoms of the problem: He can rlogin to his diskless
machines without their ip address entries present in the host table.
Everything works fine there... But, when he tries to rlogin back to
the diskful server, he gets a message from rlogind saying that it
couldn't resolv the hostname for ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (which
is the address of the client machine he's coming from). Has anyone
seen this behavior before?  Telnet works just fine, as does ftp.
But rlogin doesn't.
                                        Thanks in advance for any help!
                                           - Tom Corsetti
