Thanks Nancy, I'm not certain how to post a continuation to a thread. Just reply, I guess, I can't find any way on sourceforge.
Nancy, Your advice worked. I did have to experiment a little. Actually the hosts file seems to have the shortname in the middle. 127.0.0.1 ROU x1-6-00-e0-18-62-af-ec I wonder if the long name is a mac address. It was the default when I installed Linux. Now Taskman works, the device manager seems to work, Now I need to get some devices working. Anybody able to queue to a USB printer ? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nancy E.

It gets the name from hostname -s. In my system, that traces back to /etc/hosts and to set the name to Morphix, for instance, this is what you have to do in the file: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 Morphix.localdomain Morphix On Friday 19 November 2004 11:00 pm, Daniel Gray wrote: > Anybody: > > I am looking for information about the relationship between Linux "Host > Name", Vista "Volume Set", and Taskman "Box-Pair". %ZOSV does a > function to recover the Linux "hostname", and this information is used, > for instance, by %ZIS to determine whether the requested device is > within the reach of the user.
