The solution was to create an entry in /etc/netgroup such as: my-machine (host.domain,,) and in /etc/hosts.equiv, the entry +@my-machine Where "host.domain" is the fully qualified name, and "my-machine" is any string. See the man pages hosts.equiv(5) and netgroup(5) for details. If this helps, I will try and give an explanation. ________________________________________________________________________ Ian Guthrie Internet: ilg@cc.bellcore.com Bellcore UUCP: {...,uunet}!bellcore!bcr!ilg 3 Corporate Pl., Rm. 2G225 Voice: 908.699.3354 Piscataway, NJ 08855 Fax: 908.336.2307 ________________________________________________________________________
