DNS entries worked fine for me, once I got the inetd.conf syntax worked out, my VSE machines (which have DNS entries, not host entries) worked fine.
All of the inetd.conf entries explicitly use the syntax: service : address with spaces around the colon characters. So I had to specify: in.rexecd : 172. So that local machines could use the rexec daemon. On Monday 03 June 2002 05:10 pm, you wrote: > I ran into the same thing recently.
