[comp.unix.ultrix] rwhod in mixed network

grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu (Dirk Grunwald) (10/15/89)

i have a decstation-3100 on the same net as a passle of Sun workstations.
my rwhod doesn't show the presence of the Suns, but it does show another
decstation on the same wire.

have others had this problem? might it be my netmask or somesuch?

Are the Suns running the rwho stuff?  Sun kinda de-emphasized it when they
found it it made their diskless workstations go into paging frenzies on
the ethernet...
