Re: I-Connect error 956

Adam, A 956 error usually means that you will have to create a .rhosts file in your home directory on the target machine or put an entry in the hosts.equiv file (you will probably need root access to do this). You should only need to do this if you are doing distributed queries across machines. Are you doing any distributed queries across machines (check for synonyms in your target database using dbschema -d DBNAME -s all)? If this doesn't help send send some more info and I'll see if I can help.

This operation cannot be completed because the specified remote machine does not recognize the name of the client machine (the local host, whose name the hostname command returns). Client names are normally recorded in the configuration file /etc/hosts.equiv. The rhosts file on the remote machine might also need modification. For more information on these files and the relation between them, try man rhosts on a UNIX system. See the remote host administrator to ensure that the client host name is specified in /etc/hosts.equiv file for the remote host. This message appears in versions prior to Version 6.0. -956 Client client-name or user is not trusted by the database server. The desired database server does not consider the client computer or your user ID trusted. Ask the system administrator to include the client computer as a trusted host and/or your user id as a trusted user in the /etc/hosts.equiv file on the server computer or in the .rhosts file in your home directory on the server computer. See the UNIX manual pages on HOSTS.EQUIV(5) for more information. --------------------- I have setup I-Connect on many 95 machines and never had this problem, is there anything that might be different for a NT setup. If anyone can help me out please do so as I have no idea at the moment. Thank you Adam Sorati adams@sgen.com.au
