It has a problem with addresses over 19 characters in length. ISTAR will always fully qualify the host name with the complete domain name and if this combination exceeds 19 characters, Informix will log the entry in the ISTAR log file but will fail to validate it. Believe problem started in 5.01, 5.0 should work, have heard that 6.0 also works. Last I heard, the fix was due sometime in early '95. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Miguel A. Caldera ! Antares Development Corp. !
