When someone connects to nnrpd, nnrpd does a reverse lookup on the clients IP address so it can look up the hostname in nnrpd.access. If the client's DNS information is incorrect, you will get this error. Make sure your SOA record is correct, as well as your in-addr.arpa data. Derek <ddl@clipper.ssb.com> adds that another cause for this problem, at least under SunOS 4.1.x, is that nnrpd wasn't linked with the proper resolver library (statically or dynamically). Even when you've replaced Sun's fershlugger libresolv.a you've still gotta remind yourself to _use_ it properly. ------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:56 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
