I am having a very strange problem that someone may be able to help me with. We have several Sun's, NeXT's, and Vaxen on our network. I was always curious why the Sun's were the only who would respond to the rusers request from my Sun. Today I logged onto one of the NeXT boxes and did an rusers and all Sun's and NeXT's reported. Where is the problem? Is it on the NeXT or the Sun. I looked at both /etc/rpc and /etc/inetd.conf on both types of machines and cannot find and problems. Any ideas?

Do both the Sun and the NeXT boxes support all versions of the rusers protocol? If you do an "rpcinfo -p | grep rusers", a Sun running SunOS 4.0.x should have versions 1 and 2 registered for UDP; if the NeXT only had version 1, it would ignore the Sun's request. Hope that helps.
