We're running an Apollo workstation connected to an Ethernet, upon which also resides a number of other machines, including Macs and a MicroVAX, namely this machine. I declared the Apollo in the uVAX /etc/hosts and the uVAX in the Apollo /etc/hosts, and rebuilt the hosts database on the Apollo. It now recognizes the name "motto" for telnet, rlogin, ftp, etc., but for some reason always translates the corresponding IP address to "0.0.0.0" which obviously does not produce the correct result. Therefore, "telnet 129.0.199.199" works, but "telnet motto" does not. The same goes for rlogin, rsh, ftp, and sendmail jobs. Requests to the Apollo from the uVAX work fine. Also, rlogins to the Apollo from the uVAX show up as coming from 129.0.199.199 instead of from "motto". Can anyone help? =============================== Murray S.
